Entertainers ZaZa Flamenca and Gabriel Hermida are bringing the New York premiere of their new show Nomads: A Musical Odyssey from Odessa to Granada to Pangea on Thursday December 18 at 7 PM. The music is delivered in voice (Flamenca) twin guitars (Flamenca and Hermida), clarinet-saxophone (Ben Golder-Novick), plus bass and oud.
Nomads encompasses Jewish, Turkish, Greek, Spanish and Slavic sounds and melodies, with songs performed in Russian, Yiddish, Turkish, Greek, Ladino, Hebrew, plus the particularly exotic hybrid of Flamenco fusing Romani and Spanish. Flamenca and Hermida follow the trail of centuries-old human migration that resonates with their own immigrant journeys. Flamenca is a French-Israeli singer-guitarist, who was born in Paris and raised in Tel Aviv and in a village neighboring Gaza. Hermida, who was born into a musical family in Buenos Aires, has lived and worked in New York for over 25 years.
Tickets are $25, with a $20 food and beverage minimum, available at pangeanyc.com.
Pangea is located at 178 Second Avenue (between 11th & 12th Streets), NYC
