Winter Waves presents monthly concerts at historic St Patrick's Museum with outstanding and stylistically diverse artists. All concerts are $25 admission, with tickets on sale at www.cbrmrecreation.ca. TAMAR ILANA & VENTANAS
Ventanas interweaves flamenco, Sephardic and Balkan music and dance, and their own original compositions. Nominated for four Canadian Folk Music Awards, including Best Traditional Singer and Best Ensemble, the six-piece Toronto-based world music ensemble is fronted by the powerhouse vocalist and dancer Tamar Ilana, and features the city’s finest world musicians. They perform in over 20 languages such as Ladino, Spanish, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Hebrew, French, Romani and Arabic, drawing inspiration from today’s worldwide themes of migration and the questioning of one’s identity.
Tamar’s childhood was spent gathering songs from small villages on the edge of the Mediterranean and dancing flamenco, and Ventanas’ band members are from across the globe. Together, and in true Canadian fashion, they intertwine their musical cultures to create an all-encompassing world of their own in which they lead audiences down the less travelled paths of the Mediterranean, mixing in contemporary interpretations of ancient ballads, original compositions and new choreographies, inviting audiences of all backgrounds into their lives and music.
