Gnawa Grooves Meets Middle Eastern Jazz

Multi-instrumentalist Itamar Erez has been combining the improvisational techniques of Jazz with the emotional nuance of Middle Eastern music for decades, and has become one of Vancouver's brightest musical lights as a result.

Lala Tamar is what happens when Moroccan soul and Brazilian beats meet on the dancefloor. A singer songwriter, poet, guimbri player, dancer and world traveler, Lala Tamar stirs ancient North African rituals into fresh, feminine alchemy. She sings in Arabic, Amazigh and Portuguese, making music that feels like flipping through your grandmother’s photo album while dancing in a poppy dreamscape.

On April 11, these two world music trailblazers will perform together at one of Vancouver's most beautiful & intimate performance spaces, Pyatt Hall.
