Espace Rachi – 39, rue Broca 75005 PARIS


During the centuries of their presence in the South of France, from the earliest antiquity, the ancient Jewish communities of Provence have, in symbiosis with their environment, developed a culture and an art of living of which many traces remain, notably in their music.
It’s a music of festivities and gatherings, a sunny music, like the host country, in which we find the oriental night.
Judeo-Provençal music, born at the crossroads of Spain, Italy and Northern Europe, carries the most contrasting influences. The sounds of the Andalusia of the three cultures, the Italian Baroque and the French Middle Ages, all under the Occitan banner, are subtly and happily combined…
Nekouda brings back to light this unprecedented repertoire from the forgotten musical heritage of the Provençal diaspora.
