Two Guitars at a Balkan Banquet
Accompanied by family members, Flory Jagoda paints a vibrant picture of daily life in pre-WWII Sarajevo, interweaving Balkan, Turkish and Greek essence with the musical matrix of 15th century Spain -- the foundation of Sephardic music. Guitarist Tim Sparks, joined by bassist Greg Cohen and Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista, combines his signature fingerstyle ragtime sensibility with genre-bending improvisations, classical music structures and flamenco voicings found in traditional Jewish songs of Southeastern Europe, touching on Sephardic, Ashkenazi and Mizrahi influences.

In the Rubinstein home, the Holocaust was never discussed and every story had a happy ending...until the trip back home to Hungary.
