"We live in an era of journeys. Millions of people are on the move, trying to find new lives, a place to forge new directions" -
Arnold Zable, author, The Fig Tree
Arnold Zable's acclaimed book The Fig Tree evokes the displacement, strength, longing and friendship of millions of people seeking a new life or refuge from persecution.
The Fig Treet CD features Kavisha Mazzella's moving songs that speak for the dispossessed; Klezmer bands Klezmania and Klezmeritis expressing the vitality and pathos of Jewish Eastern European music; David Krycer and Freydi Mrocki singing Yiddish poetry; Anthea Sidiropoulos and Costas Tsicaderis evoking the Greek islands and the migrant experience; and the legendary Greek singer Maria Farantouri's Song Of Songs.
An achingly beautiful musical celebration of the journeys undertaken by migrants, wanderers and the dispossessed; the journeys Arnold Zable honours in his fascinating book.
