This unique concert traces the soulful journey of nomadic music across cultures and centuries, weaving together the passionate sounds of Gypsy Russia, Yiddish traditions, Turkish melodies, Greek songs, Ladino heritage, Flamenco fire, and Hebrew spirit.
With their signature blend of artistry, virtuosity, and emotion, Zaza Flamenca and Gabriel Hermida invite audiences to travel through lands and histories where music transcends borders and speaks to the universal human heart.
Yael & Gabriel, two international musicians who have performed in some of New York's best clubs, have brought their Latin and Gypsy Flamenco-influenced music to St. Augustine.
Yael, who is French and Israeli, is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter influenced most by French music, Gypsy Jazz, and Israeli Rock. She sings songs from a number of different cultures in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Hebrew.
Gabriel, who is from Argentina, excels at classical and flamenco guitar, sings, and composes music. He performed with Broadway star and American tap dancer Savion Glover for a number of years, providing the music that inspired the Glover's dancing, which in turn provided the percussion for their performances.
Yael & Gabriel have performed together for over eight years, in sets that include old standards from many cultures, world music, and their own compositions and songs. They sing music in 7 languages and have performed on cruise lines and around the world, including at the Howard Theatre in Washington D.C, at the Montecarlo Theatre in Monaco, at the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris, and at Cafe Wha in New York.
