Neta Elkayam
About this Event
Neta Elkayam is a Jewish-Moroccan singer, multidisciplinary artist, and cultural leader whose work reimagines the musical traditions of North African Jewish communities through a contemporary lens. Leading ensembles across Morocco, Europe, Jerusalem, and New Orleans, she blends Andalusian, Chaabi, and Amazigh traditions with jazz, electronic music, and original composition. Developed in close collaboration with musical director and producer Amit Hai Cohen, her work is rooted in archival research, oral histories, and rare recordings while maintaining a distinctive artistic voice shaped by migration, memory, and belonging. Singing primarily in Moroccan Arabic, Elkayam creates powerful connections between ancestral heritage and contemporary expression. Alongside her musical work, she creates installations, performance art, and paintings exploring memory, displacement, and women’s narratives.
Neta Elkayam has performed at leading festivals and venues worldwide and has received a number of honors, including the ACUM Music Prize, the Sami Michael Award for Social Equality, the Salam Contemporary Arts Forum Prize, the American Sephardi Federation’s Pomegranate Award, and the Trophée Marocains du Monde. She currently teaches at Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans.
