Shira
u'tfila
Founded by
vocalist and oud player Stefan Sablic, Shira u’tfila brings
together a multi-ethnic, multi-faith ensemble that draws its
inspiration from the diversity and richness of
Judeo-Spanish, Ottoman-Turkish, Arabic and Balkan musical
traditions.
Shira u’tfila
has released seven CDs, toured a dozen countries and
collaborated on various research and production projects
involving Sephardic music from the Balkans, Mediterranean
and Middle East. The band passionately blends its knowledge
of classical traditions and dedication to their preservation
with a flair for improvisation and a talent for fusion. Its
distinct sound brings a modern twist to an historical
legacy.
