Mi Linda Dama is an international project of Mediterranean inspiration; own compositions and Sephardi’s songs rearranged with fresh and modern sounds in order to put emphasis to all cultures involved in this tradition. Andalusia, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Balkans, Morocco … a bridge over all Mediterranean Sea and also between past and present times, thanks to the use of instruments belonging to different areas and ages and discovery of ancient songs that carry deep and very actual meanings, especially being written and transmitted from migrations along the whole Mediterranean Sea.

During the Middle Ages, Sephardi lived in the Iberian Peninsula together with Christians and Arab Muslims. Their stories of oral tradition, mixed with Andalusian melodies and Arabic rhythm, create a very rich musical mixture. Lyrics are sung in traditional Sephardic language, called Judezmo. The singer introduces the listeners to the deep meanings of the songs, dealing especially with love, migrations and history.

Admission free.
