Friday, November 29th | 7:30pm - 9:30 pm | Mary Irwin Theatre
Join Lamiae Naki and her ensemble, Seffarine, for an evening of captivating Mediterranean music. Born in Fes, Morocco, Naki's vocals, Nat Hulskamp's flamenco guitar, and Michael Rush's bass create a mesmerizing fusion of North African and Spanish sounds. Experience the rich heritage of cultural exchange as Seffarine transports you through centuries-old melodies, from the streets of Fes to the shores of Jerez. Don't miss this unforgettable musical journey.
Seffarine embraces and extends the rich legacy of this golden age of tolerance and exchange between Muslim, Jewish and Christian cultures by creating fresh, innovative works reconnecting these shared Mediterranean roots. Charged with texture and color, Seffarine concerts carry the audience on a vibrant musical journey, channeling the heart-wrenching joy of the music and dance of North Africa and southern Spain to wide acclaim.
Seffarine has performed at prestigious events and venues around the world, like the Lake Tahoe World Concert, winning over audiences from Indonesia to Spain. They have brought their musical vision and cultural knowledge to community audiences and schools, including a recent tour of rural Montana schools on the Fort Peck Reservation. The ensemble has a strong history of support from the field: in 2017, Seffarine was selected by the Western Arts Alliance as one of three Launchpad Artists. Their debut album, “De Fez a Jerez” was supported by a grant from the Regional Arts and Culture Council, allowing the group to work and record in Jerez, Spain with several of the living legends of flamenco music. The album received international acclaim and placed in the Transglobal World Music Charts top 20 world music releases, selected by a panel of 43 world music experts, and was named one of the “best African albums of 2015” by prestigious African music blog Afribuku.
