Mama Zehyerei: Etti Ankri in a Tunisian Performance
Saturday, 10 November 2012 21:30
Etti Ankri's grandmother, Mama Zehyerei, was born on the island of Jerba in Tunisia.
Through her childhood Etti Ankri was surrounded by Tunisian melodies and rhythms. "I listen again to songs that I heard in my childhood and select ones that are suited to audiences today," says Etti Ankri. "I travel to a moshav in the south to record Tunisian women from Jerba who preserve Jewish sacred songs, meet musicians from the Tunisian community in Israel to learn the Tunisian scales and encounter community members, who willingly help to bring the wonderful treasures of this tradition to light."
