Amel Tafsout: Jews of the Maghreb (North Africa) History, Tradition, and Culture

Part of The Portland Jewish Music Festival!

North African Jewish communities, also known as Maghrebi Jews, have a long history in the Maghreb region (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya), with some communities established long before the Arab conquest and others formed after the expulsion from Iberia in the late 15th century. This fascinating presentation will be taught by world-renowned scholar, Amel Tafsout. Tafsout is a master dance artist, choreographer, instructor, frame drummer, singer, and one of the finest exponents of North African traditional and contemporary Maghreb Dance of our time.
