Tamar Ilana & Ventanas present their third album,
MISTRĀL. Named for the wind that traverses the Mediterranean, the title alludes
to the migrations of the Sephardic and Romani people over the centuries. A
four-time nominee for the Canadian Folk Music Awards, Ventanas reimagines
Mediterranean melodies and flamenco grooves with “potent, vibrato-drenched
vocals” (DownBeat) and “bristling oud solos” (New York Music Daily).
FEATURING
Tamar Ilana – vocals, dance
Jesssica Deutsch – violin
Tyler Emond – bass
Benjamin Barrile – flamenco guitar
