From 23 to 25 June, the Fundación Tres Culturas del Mediterráneo is organising a festival with three nights of open-air concerts dedicated to Sephardic music, Andalusian rhythms and flamenco, with three great protagonists: Ana Alcaide, Imán Kandoussi and Rocío Márquez.
This festival has a vocation of continuity and is organised by the foundation with the Andalusian Agency of Cultural Institutions of the Department of Culture and Historical Heritage of the Andalusian Regional Government, with the collaboration of the 'la Caixa' Foundation. The aim of this event is to give value to the important musical legacy that the coexistence of different cultures of the Mediterranean represents for our community. And more specifically, the relevance of the Sephardic and Andalusian heritage in Andalusian culture.
In this sense, this initiative is linked to the Festival de las Andalucías Atlánticas, which has been held every year in the Moroccan city of Essaouira, with strong support from the Junta de Andalucía (through the Fundación Tres Culturas) for almost two decades. Now, the Festival Tres Culturas goes a step further by bringing together three important exponents of Sephardic, Andalusian and Flamenco music on the same stage, albeit on different days.
Ana AlcaideThe first to perform on the 23rd, she is an instrumentalist, singer and composer who carries out research into ancient traditions and cultures. Pioneer and disseminator of the nyckelharpa (Swedish instrument) in Spain, she began writing and producing her own songs, adding compositions and adapting her instrument to ancestral melodies that have travelled around the Mediterranean and originated in medieval Spain.
Conquistó la escena internacional con su tercer disco, ‘La Cántiga del Fuego,’ (2012) y su singular reinterpretación de la música antigua y sefardí. Sus trabajos discográficos han sido publicados globalmente por el sello inglés ARC music y son reconocidos por la crítica internacional especializada, habiendo alcanzando los mejores puestos de la ‘World Music Charts’ (lista referente de músicas del mundo a nivel internacional). Fruto de este reconocimiento, Ana Alcaide ha presentado su trabajo en festivales, teatros y escenarios de todo el mundo con más 500 conciertos.
Desde el 2016 es la directora artística del ‘Festival de Músicas del Mundo de Toledo’ y en 2017 recibió la ‘Medalla al Mérito Cultural de las Artes Escénicas y la Música de Castilla la Mancha’. Ese mismo año participó en el último disco de Loreena McKennitt, ‘Lost Souls’, y en 2019 fue su invitada durante su concierto grabado en el Royal Albert Hall de Londres, además de acompañarla en su gira por España.
