• Jaffa Road Official Vi...
This performance was recorded live off the floor in the band's favorite rehearsal studio, RATSPACE.
Avre Los Ojos was originally recorded for JAFFA ROAD's award winning release "Where the Light Gets In". The album was nominated for a JUNO award in 2013, and won the Canadian Folk Music Award for World Music Group of the Year.
This is an original arrangement of an old Ladino song, that was previously recorded only once prior to Jaffa Road 's recording. It was originally recorded by Haim Effendi in 1912, in Turkey on Edison Wax Cylinders. It is one of the earliest known recordings of Sephardic music.
Jaffa Road preserves the original melody & lyrics but frames it in a totally new contemporary arrangement. You can Haim Effendi’s original 1912 recording at this link.
• Malandanzas Del Asker ...
The song sings the pain felt by parents as they watch their children go to "Asker" - conscription into the army of the Ottoman Empire in the 19th and 20th centuries.

“Jaffa Road`s performance for a packed hall was easily one of my favourite moments of the festival. This group of fantastic musicians has an uncanny ability to bring an audience to the edge of their seats one moment, and then get them on their feet dancing the next.” -Chris Dearlove, General Manager, National Arts Centre`s Ontario Scene Festival
