Anglo-American University in Prague History and Philosophy Seminar: Badr Tachouche and Zita Sko艡epov谩 Honzlov谩, 鈥楲ive Music Workshop: Sephardic and Sufi Echoes from al-Andalus to the Present鈥�
Have you ever heard Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic, or Tamazight (Berber) melodies intertwined鈥攍aced with Romance and Slavic echoes?
This unique workshop and concert invites you on a musico-poetic journey through the rich legacy of Andalusian music, where Hispanic, Jewish, Arab, Berber, and Slavic traditions merged into one of history鈥檚 most profound artistic tapestries. Born from the Convivencia of al-Andalus, where mystics, poets, and musicians exchanged melodies across faiths, this musical heritage traveled across the Mediterranean with expelled Jews and Muslims, carrying stories of exile, resilience, and shared spirituality.
From Sephardic piyyutim to Sufi qasa鈥檌d, and from the poetic forms of Muwashshah膩t and Azj膩l, the performance explores how music and poetry became bridges of coexistence鈥攅choes of a time when, despite religious and political divisions, art transcended hate and conflict.
Through live performance and scholarly reflection, Zita Sko艡epov谩 Honzlov谩 and Badr Tachouche will unravel these musical dialogues, where the Sephardic and Sufi repertoires mirror each other鈥檚 soul. Together, they blend research, spirituality, and artistry into an unforgettable experience that revives the lost voices of al-Andalus.
