Kantika Album Release Concert

Join us for the hotely anticipated release of Kantika, the new Ladino album from Tutti Druyan, Shaqed Druyan, and Edmar Colón.

Kantika, which means “song” in the old language of Ladino (Judeo-Spanish), is a musical project that contains hypnotizing melodies, captivating soundscapes, and powerful lyrics. The project is lead by singer and songwriter Tutti Druyan, and it features drummer-producer Shaqed Druyan, and saxophonist-composer Edmar Colón. Kantika brings together traditional Sephardic songs with newly composed music and lyrics in English, creating a seamless blend between the two languages to complement one another both in the music and in the text.

This unique project conjures a powerful bond between the old and the new. By abstracting aesthetics from different musical genres and putting this dying language in the forefront, Kantika promises to be an exciting connection between music and the hope of the preservation of language.
