SUMMARY:Concierto Intimo: Seffarine
DESCRIPTION:\n\n“Seffarine's music can melt the coldest hearts”\n-Chica
 go Reader\n\nJoin us for an intimate concert in the glow of the Covarrubia
 s Adobe.\n\nAbout Seffarine:\nAt a momentous first meeting at a coffee sho
 p in Fez\, Moroccan vocalist Lamiae Naki and multi-instrumentalist Nat Hul
 skamp composed their first song and decided to get married. Brought togeth
 er by their deep knowledge of the music of both sides of the Straits of Gi
 braltar — Spanish flamenco and Moroccan Arabic music — they created Se
 ffarine.\n\nSeffarine takes its name from the ancient metalworking square 
 in Fez\, which is famous for the complex rhythms that ring out from the bl
 acksmiths' hammers\, and where Lamiae's family is well known as masters of
  the tradition. Seffarine's music embraces and extends Morocco's musical c
 ollision between Arabic\, Iberian and West African cultures\, forging vibr
 ant original music deeply rooted in their backgrounds in flamenco guitar\,
  oud and Arab Andalusian music.Nat and Lamiae built an international quint
 et bringing in all star musicians from Iran\, the US and Spain\, who infus
 e the sound with textured instrumentation and inspired improvisation. Swee
 ping kamancheh (Persian spike-fiddle) ornamentation plays off gritty bass 
 grooves and explosive flamenco footwork\, with Lamiae's fluidly riveting v
 oice at the center\, sending up sheets of cascading Andalusi melodies punc
 tuated by the catchy hooks of North African Chaabi\, sung in her native Mo
 roccan Arabic.Their sound has taken them around the world\, from touring I
 ndonesia and Europe to receiving grants to study Ottoman singing in Turkey
 \, to recording with top flamenco musicians in Spain such as Diego del Mor
 ao and Latin Grammy Award winner Antonio Rey.
