Happy Purim!

My mother was born in Venezeula and I decided to explore some spanish Purim songs and found this beauty. Here’s a an impromptu quirky recording of me singing yesterday!
(The instruments you’re hearing are found objects around my home, lol, food sprinkles in a shaker, clapping my hands, off beat tamborine, vocal layering and much, MUCH silliness).
“Sephardic Jews tell the story of Purim in coplas, i.e., poems in Ladino composed from the late 17th century on, which deal largely with Jewish holidays and historical events…”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coplas_…

A Wondrous Tale About Emma Brooks combines the exquisite songs of Rivky, musically directed by David Seamon and narration written and performed by Jack Feldstein. With music and story, the tale of sixteen year old Emma Brooks unfolds, as she jumps into mad rivers and meets memorable characters along the way. Some of them are friendly; some of them are sly. All of them lead her to a most curious, wondrous adventure—and, ultimately, into self discovery.

Hear some beautiful music. Taste some killer food. Sip on some fancy bourbon, fine wine & craft beer on tap.
Music starts at 8pm sharp.

If you’re feeling reeeeally creative with food, find singers/musical groups who have animal band names…Maybe even go a little word crazy!! Soup (Snoop) Doggy Dog…Jelly Phish? You can write the name inside a folded piece of paper placed beside your art piece so that people can guess who!
Use any ingredients as long as their edible! Make it fancy, simple or just plain silly.

Some works, like the controversial piece, “Teffilin Nude” and “Haiku Swaying In The Sun”, have been sold to art collectors, Heidi Rigney amongst them.
