22 INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF SEPHARDIC MUSIC OF CORDOBA
The International Sephardic Music Festival is a cultural event organised by the Delegation of Tourism of the City of Cordoba, that develops every year at the Historic Centre of Cordoba.
This event is considered as the
Official Festival under the initiative of the Network of
Spanish Jewish Quarters “Routes of Sefarad”. This
festival is an international benchmark of Sephardic music and
features six concerts world-renowned artists every edition.
A Festival that has already seen 114 music groups from more than 30 countries, most of Europe (Spain,
France, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Austria, United Kingdom, Ireland, Poland,
Hungary, Turkey, Serbia, Sweden, Croatia, Bulgaria , Macedonia,
Netherland, ...) but also from Israel, Moldova, Ukraine, Sudan,
Syria; South America (Argentina, Venezuela, Chile and Uruguay),
Africa (Morocco), United States and Canada.
In these 21 editions of the Festival
no group has repeated, a criterion that was established from the
beginning in order to accommodate the largest possible number of
musical groups, which translates more than 400 artists who have
already passed through this Festival.
Our Festival is twinned with the
Amsterdam International Jewish Music Festival, and we have excellent
relationships with the Krakow Jewish Culture Festival, the Gibraltar
Music Festival and the Lorca Jewish Festival, among others. This
Festival has an annual periodicity and its permanent headquarters are
in Córdoba.
The combination of exceptional
historical destiny as Cordoba and the possibility to attend all
events within one week, make it a unique opportunity to visit our
city pair and enjoy the benefits of tourism packages offered by the
Network of Spanish Jewish Quarters through its RASGO
project.
