This masterful lineup of multicultural artists from around the world features music from Sephardic Jewish, Syrian, and Roma traditions. The group includes legendary Romani accordionist Sergiu Popa, acclaimed Sephardic cellist Noémy Braun, Nizar Tabcharani on qanun, tombek player Bijan Rahmani, and vocalist Parisa Karimi Molan.

Described as “Expressive and emotional... played with absolute brilliance by a group of amazingly talented musicians” the band is especially relevant “In a world that unfortunately seems to be becoming more and more divisive, this beautiful work of art that celebrates people coming together is definitely a must hear.”

For Taraf Syriana’s debut at Chutzpah!, they will be premiering a new program that will also showcase rarely heard Sephardic songs from Syria.
