Keeper of the flame of Sephardic music, songbird Flory Jagoda takes audiences on a spellbinding, magical journey through songs and storytelling. Born in Sarajevo, Bosnia, Jagoda blends Ladino, her mother tongue, with Balkan cultural traditions.
The program kicks off with a film premiere of “Flory’s Flame,” a new documentary that weaves Jagoda’s life story. It traces her family’s Spanish Jewish roots from the Inquisition to the former Yugoslavia and culminates in a concert at the Library of Congress and her life’s work bringing this rich cultural heritage to international audiences. The film directors will attend. For the concert, Jagoda is joined by hand-picked musicians: family, apprentices, and students steeped in the rich sounds of Sephardic traditions. Co-presented by the Sephardic Studies Program of the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Washington for International Ladino Day.
