Ritual

The repertory “Ritual. Cycle of Life” by Capella de Ministrers revives the shared memory of the Mediterranean peoples through Sephardic and Arab-Andalusian chants that convey sorrow, hope, and dignity. Heir to the Sephardic exile of 1492, this music links cities from Istanbul to Jerusalem, recalling the strength of a culture built on coexistence against oppression and oblivion. It resounds as a cry against exclusion and as an act of resistance in favor of peace and against genocide.
