Event

Guava Rugelach Festival
Celebrate the vast array of musical genres that create the whole that is Miami's diverse Jewish community. From the Ladino songs of the Sephardic middle east to those of Spain and Cuba; from Klezmer for kids to Klezmer jamming with Latin beats; from Hebrew lyrics dancing over Mizrachi (middle eastern) melodies mixed with rock to spoken word  this is Tropical Jewish Sound.

For this first time ever, the Guava Rugelach Festival is a destination on a national music commissioning tour of a cohort of Jewish music and arts presenters, the New Jewish Culture Network, convened and co-sponsored by the Foundation for Jewish Culture. The project, Monajat (Fervent Prayer), uses the liturgical poetry recited by Middle Eastern Jews during Selihot, the month of penitential prayer preceding Rosh Hashanah. The Guava Rugelach presentation marks the world premiere of Monajat.

Iranian-descended composer and singer Galeet Dardashti performs Monajat as an evening of Middle Eastern musical poetry. Recited as a means of reflection and spiritual preparation, Dardashti reinvents Persian melodies and Hebrew texts with electronic soundscapes (including recordings of her grandfather Yona Darsdashti, a cantor and renowned master singer of Persian classical music) and dynamic video projections designed by Dmitry Kmelnitsky.
