Nani Vazana - Making It New
Part of Acadia School of Music's Thursday Concert Credit Series.
What does it mean to create within a living tradition - to honour the past without being imprisoned by it? In this lecture-performance, Nani Vazana traces her creative process as one of the world's few artists composing original music in Ladino, the endangered Judeo-Spanish language carried across centuries and continents by the Sephardic diaspora. She'll explore how she brings that ancient tradition into dialogue with contemporary jazz, flamenco, and North African rhythms - and where she draws the line between innovation and preservation. Featuring live performance on piano and trombone, and a first look at material developed during her Deep Roots Artist in Residence week at Ross Creek Centre for the Arts just days prior.
