With violin, oud, percussion and vocals, the multi-faith foursome are dedicated to the Sephardic tradition: Jewish songs from Spain, originally from the medieval period. The title Hayam Hagadol means The Big Sea - a Talmudic term for the Mediterranean. Violin and oud draw an ornamental filigree around the singing of cantor Andre Taieb as he shifts from liturgical songs and prayers to popular Maghreb items like "Waine Inbatou" with its eminently hummable chorus."
