about

Ariel Lazarus & the Israeli Ladino Orchestra: Gibraltarra
‘Gibraltarra’ composed by Ariel Lazarus, the renowned musical director of the Israeli Ladino Orchestra, is a new instrumental piece that brings together east and west, inspired by Lazarus’s recent concert tour to Morocco and Gibraltar, the place where his family originated from.
The composition features apart from Lazarus on the Guitar, three incredible international guest artists: the Moroccan Qanoun player Mohamed Yassine Benali, the Brazilian born Percussionist Joca Perpignan and the Israeli flute player Keren Golan.
Ariel says: “While composing this piece I thought about the warm levante wind blowing through the straits of Gibraltar, the atmosphere of the Fez medina, and the sweeping Brazilian beats from across the ocean. All these elements resonates with me, evoking childhood memories from both Israel and Gibraltar, the birth place of my mother, which has always been a meeting point of civilizations”
Lazarus is the 2021 recipient of the Navon prize given by the president of Israel and Israel’s ministry of culture for outstanding creative work in the field of music traditions.
