Charged with texture and color, Seffarine concerts carry the audience on a vibrant musical journey, channeling the heart-wrenching joy of the music and dance of North Africa and southern Spain to wide acclaim. Described by Bass Player Magazine as a “gorgeous intersection of Spanish flamenco, Arabic and Andalusian music, Persian classical and jazz,” Lamiae Naki’s fluid, riveting vocals entwine elegantly with Nat Hulskamp’s expert flamenco guitar and oud. Persian classical master Bobak Salehi’s sweeping kamancheh (spike fiddle) and tar (Persian lute) play off bassist Damian Erskine’s grooves and the drums and explosive flamenco dance of Manuel Gutierrez. Diving deep into the drama and technical prowess that characterizes these traditions, Seffarine invites listeners to hear with fresh ears the age-old conversation that spanned a sea, reminding us of the connections and histories modern identities disguise.
