Mashalá and !Fiestaremos!
Mashalá

!Fiestaremos!

An intimate look at the important efforts of musician Judy Frankel, whose work with many Sephardic communities helped to preserve and extend their rich musical tradition. The film follows Frankel's journey from folk singer in Boston in the sixties, to her work with medieval and renaissance consorts.
Post-screening discussion with Kathleen Regan and Samuel Thomas, performer and ethnomusicologist.
