Duo Andalus brings together the rich traditions of Andalusian, Sephardic, and Moroccan music through the distinctive collaboration of vocalist Lala Tamar and flamenco guitarist Ofer Ronen. Their performances weave intricate instrumentation with heartfelt storytelling, celebrating the shared heritage of Moroccan, Arabic and Jewish musical traditions. The duo has crafted a finely intricate set over a decade of collaboration, which showcases each of their masteries, and breathes vibrant new life into ancient deliciously resurrected songs. Cultures of Ceremony is series of monthly concerts, recorded live, produced by the Temenos Center for the Arts, at the historic Dreamland Recording Studios, in Woodstock, NY. Presenting artists whose aesthetics and lineages are rooted in ceremony music, the series aims to restore and enliven cultures of generosity, nourishment, community, and spirituality, by creating the opportune conditions for artists to make music, to document their gifts, and to share in the vibrancy and goodness that comes from bringing people together in ways that bestow honor to each of us.&nbsp; Artists are invited for a short residency at Dreamland, culminating in a live recording that is returned to the artists as a gift. Community members are invited to cook and bake for the artists, so that they can be nourished by healthy foods and home hospitality &ndash; rare phenomena in the business of music. The recording is for the artists to do with as they wish, and concert attendees are gifted a single track recording of the concert they attended. The documentation of the ceremony becomes a future ceremony that anyone can return to, with the intention that it be consumed differently than the ordinary ways in which we consume music &ndash; not so much songs to listen to, a place to return to. The series asks musicians to consider the ways in which they shape their art according to the dictates of showbusiness, and in this alternate space, to explore the freedoms in returning to the aesthetics of ceremony.&nbsp; <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1790951124/wysiwyg/qqvcnrvpvjgdvf19cfsj.jpg" style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">
