Bente Kahan with Rusó Sala: 'Home'

Concert included within the "Nights of Music in the Jewish quarter"

Thursday, August 20,

Call de Girona

Bente Kahan presents the program "Home". The frame of the concert is Bente Kahan's personal story, with a family-tree dating back to 13th Century, Spain, going through Europe and ending in Norway. Through Bente Kahan's family, one hears the general story of the European Jews. The songs will be sung in Yiddish, Ladino, Hebrew, as well as languages where her family has lived; songs which have absorbed much of this continents folklore and traditions, and are themselves encounters between the Jewish and non-Jewish Europe.

The concert will feature the participation of Rusó Sala, songwriter and performer from the Empordà.

Free entrance
