Guitar Trio, concert

Guitar Trio consists of top guitarists from Čakovec – Branimir Novak, Mario Igrec and Nenad Srpak, members of renowned Croatian jazz, blues and rock bands. In addition to original compositions, the group's concert repertoire also includes instrumental arrangements of world-famous evergreen songs (e.g. The Beatles, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Al di Meola, Jimi Hendrix, Astor Piazzolla) as well as traditional, especially Međimurje songs, as well as other fusion, jazz and blues songs. For the performance at the Lendava Synagogue, the musicians will prepare a special concert program, which will also include compositions by Jewish authors.

Nani Vazana is a Ladino singer and songwriter with an irresistible stage presence and a voice that transports you from ancient markets to modern jazz clubs in one breath. In 2024, she won the Eurovision Song Contest for National Minorities, representing Netherlands with her original song Una Segunda Piel (Second Skin) in the endangered Ladino language.
Nani heard Ladino from her Moroccan grandmother, but her grandmother spoke it in secret because Nani’s father forbade any language other than Hebrew to be spoken at home. Nani grew up listening to her grandmother sing songs in the kitchen, in this mysterious language that no one else could understand. These memories inspired Nani to breathe new life into Ladino, the nearly lost language of Sephardic Jews, through flamenco-inspired vocals.

Join us on November 12th, 2025, for a meaningful celebration of Jewish heritage in the heart of the Danube Delta region. As part of the European Days of Jewish Culture, the historic city of Tulcea invites you to discover the rich Jewish legacy that has shaped this remarkable Romanian community.This year’s theme, “People of the Book,” celebrates the profound Jewish tradition of scholarship, learning, and the written word that has been passed down through generations. The celebration includes a guided visit to the Jewish History Museum of Tulcea, where visitors will explore exhibits chronicling the vibrant Jewish life that once flourished in this Danubian port city. Discover how local Jewish families maintained their connection to sacred texts and learning, even in this remote corner of the Danube Delta, embodying the essence of being “People of the Book.”

The Sepharazz Trio proposal is formed by musicians Tati Cervià (vocals), Jaume Fulcarà (guitar) and Toni Pujol (double bass), who present a unique project that fuses the roots of Sephardic and traditional music with jazz.

For the show of the "European Days of Jewish Culture" they have selected a repertoire of Jewish and Catalan songs, taken from their recorded works ("Kantikas de la kukuvaya", "Solombra" and "Secreta veu"), all around literary culture and writing, as a defining element of the Jewish People.

Free admission with limited capacity.

Jewish Community Belgrade takes part in this manifestation from the very beginning. For this EDJC kick off we are organizing a concert by the ensemble Shira Utfila, following the theme "People of the Book": "The Book in Song: Sephardic Music of the Balkans."
Sephardic Songs: The Voice of the People of the Book
Within the melodies of Sephardic songs from the Balkans lies the rich legacy of a people—their stories, customs, faith, daily life, recipes, longings, love, and sorrow. Transmitted orally across generations, these songs are a living record of Jewish-Spanish culture and life after the expulsion from Spain. In them, the book becomes a song, and melody becomes a memory that speaks, reminds, and inspires.
The event is accompanied by an exhibition from the National Library of Israel on this year’s theme: "The People of the Book."

Klezmer Musik. Ensemble "Shoshana". Populäre und traditionelle jüdische Lieder und Tänze

Enmarcado dentro de las Jornadas Europeas de la Cultura Judía de 2025, el grupo World Flam Music ofrecería un concierto vibrante que fusiona la rica tradición de la música sefardí con elementos del flamenco y otras influencias globales. Las melodías sefardíes, con raíces en la diáspora judía de la España medieval, narran historias de amor, exilio y celebración, interpretadas en ladino (judeoespañol) y acompañadas por instrumentos tradicionales como el oud, la darbuka, el violín y la guitarra flamenca. La actuación destacaría por su emotividad, combinando la melancolía de las romanzas sefardíes con el ritmo apasionado del flamenco.
