Films   Information TAUBE FOUNDATION'S JEWISH HERITAGE TOURS THE OTHER EUROPEANS European project   Friends		Nefesh – Raphael Roginski Ensemble Nefesh (Hebrew for “soul”) is a project dedicated to the musical tradition of the Sephardic Jews, mostly from the region of northern Greece and Turkey. It is the brainchild of Raphael Roginski, who has invited collaborating musicians from various ethnic cultures, and above all from different musical cultures, to join in. The result is a mixture of source music with free-jazz, Sephardic music, and trip-hop. Traditional instruments are accompanied by electronic ones. Thanks to this, the project is immersed in today’s realities, and is a part of contemporary culture. Original songs, mostly based on Cabbalistic texts, reflect the times and exceptional nature of the Ottoman Empire as a region of special tolerance for many cultures. Cigdem Kilincer (Turkey) – vocals, guitar; Tahir Palali (Turkey) – kopuz, baglama; Raphael Roginski (Poland) – guitars, oud, mandoline, cumbus; Peter Ole Jorgensen (Denmark) – percussion powrót
