Saffron Caravan unites musicians from Iran, Afghanistan, Cuba, Morocco, India, Israel, Bosnia, Brazil, and the United States for cross-cultural collaborative performance.
The program features a musical journey from the Balkans through the Middle East and North Africa to Brazil, tracing the cultural crossroads of Sevdah, the music of love. The concert includes an original composition, specifically for Saffron Caravan, by Nigel Osborne, composer, global human rights activist, and emeritus professor of music at the University of Edinburgh.
