Sephardic Evening

Hagada Association

Screenwriter and host Dr. Eli Tauber, featuring the band VLADIMIR

This traditional program, which has been a part of the Festival for many years, showcases Sephardic customs and traditional food from the rich Sephardic cuisine. There will also be a concert of the most beautiful Sephardic romances performed by the band VLADIMIR, which consists of musicians: Vladimir Mićković – vocals, Adis Sirbubalo – accordion and piano, Elvis Sivčević – guitar, Dinko Šimunović – double bass, and Anes Beglerbegović – percussion. The ensemble Vladimir, with its selected repertoire, embarks on a musical journey from Andalusia to the Balkans, presenting Sephardic songs in the Ladino language that have been sung for generations in Mediterranean Sephardic communities in places like Split and Dubrovnik, through Sarajevo and Mostar, to Bitola and Thessaloniki.
