WMI Concerts

This program brilliantly brings together flamenco with the Andalusian repertoire of Morocco (al-ala)  - music that originated in the courts of Sevilla, Granada and Córdoba during the Golden Age of Andalusia (9th-13th centuries) when Muslims, Jews and Christians co-existed in southern Spain. Marina Heredia is an entrancing voice from Granada and important figure in the new generation of flamenco singers who has graced all the major Spanish festivals and performed with Pepe Habichuela, José María Gallardo, and Maria Pagés, among others. She shares the stage with the Chekara Arab-Andalusian Orchestra of Tetouan, which has collaborated with many of flamenco’s leading singers, including Enrique Morente, Carmen Linares, Arcángel, and Jaime El Parrón (Heredia’s father). Founded over 50 years ago by the famed Abdessadak Chekara, the orchestra is now directed by violinist and singer Jallal Chekara, Abdessak’s musical heir and nephew, and includes musicians on violin, oud (lute), kanun (zither), guitar, and percussion, and dancer Jara Heredia.
