  1. "Arénas is a contemporary reimagining of #NorthAfrican #Jewish #music, where traditional #Moroccan textures meet electronics, horns, and sampling.

    Shaped by migration, memory, and the energy of the #diaspora, the #album draws on the #artistic worlds of #NetaElkayam and #AmitHaiCohen, alongside influences from #NewOrleans. Across seven extended tracks, Arénas unfolds as an immersive, trance-like listening experience.

    Echoing her grandmother’s birthplace in #Tinghir, #Morocco #Elkayam developed an intimate dialogue with her ancestral memory, writing #lyrics through cyclic structures and repetition, and choosing her mother tongue—#MoroccanArabic—as the language of her #art. In close collaboration with #musical #producer Amit Hai Cohen, the #music was co-written and composed, taking shape through a blend of electronic and acoustic #instrumentation. Both trace their family roots to #Amazigh villages in Morocco..."

  2. Here's the event slideshow.

    1st #NorthAfrican #Cookout at Fed Farm in #Vicwest. Absolutely fabulous community event! Lots of delicious #Moroccan & #Tunisian foods were cooked & given to guests to eat. Many stories shared. Beautiful acoustic music was played. Wonderful new local BIPOC connections were made & some lovely reunions occurred too. I had a really great time!

    Most folks who came out had similar displacement backgrounds. Several of us are war survivors who lost our family homes overseas & are far from many family members(my Mom's side is stuck in remote offgrid village) who are still living in our homelands. It was good for our souls to be around fellow POC diaspora. We understand each other better than others do because of similar life experiences from before coming to Canada. We also faced similar struggles/racism when we came to Canada as refugees of wars.

    I am looking forward to helping them out more at some future community connecting events & grassroots projects in the near future.

  5. 📢NEW BOOK ALERT!

    'A #Grammar of the #Jewish #Arabic #Dialect of #Gabes' by Wiktor Gębski is now available!

    🌍 Dive into the linguistic intricacies of this endangered dialect spoken by the Jews of Gabes, a coastal city in #SouthernTunisia.

    Belonging to the category of sedentary #NorthAfrican dialects, this variety is now spoken by a dwindling number of native speakers, primarily in #Israel and #France. Given the imminent extinction faced by many modern varieties of #JudaeoArabic, including #Jewish #Gabes, the study's primary goal is to document and describe its #linguistic nuances while reliable speakers are still accessible.

    📊Data for this comprehensive study were collected during fieldwork in Israel and France between December 2018 and March 2022.

  6. I have to say that seeing #HumzaYousaf become #Scotland's first Minister, while #RishiSunak is #UK's #PM is really a lesson for the ever #racist #France, who in a billion years would not put a third or fourth, nevermind 2nd generation #NorthAfrican in charge of the government. The UK for all its faults (aka all its #Tories) will always be more #tolerant than its gallic neighbour. channel4.com/news/humza-yousaf
