Songs We Carry: Ana Silvera & Saied Silbak in musical dialogue across traditions
"Beautiful and deeply moving... their performance summoned such sorcery within seconds of starting, and the thrills kept coming." – The Arts Desk ☆☆☆☆☆
Songs We Carry is a collaboration between British Jewish singer-multi-instrumentalist Ana Silvera and Palestinian oud player Saied Silbak, exploring the intersections of their cultural traditions - Ana's melancholic Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) songs and Saied's intricate Arabic maqams. Ana comes from a Sephardic Jewish family and blends ancient tradition with contemporary songwriting; Saied, born in Shafa'amr in the Lower Galilee, draws on Arab, Turkish, Indian, and Western musical influences. The duo met in London and created a project centered on dialogue and shared storytelling rather than simple fusion.
Their repertoire weaves traditional Ladino songs with Arabic compositions reimagined for the contemporary stage — meditative music shifting between melancholy and hope. Released in autumn 2024, the album Songs We Carry received strong reviews, and its launch concert at London's Kings Place sold out quickly. As critic Mark Kidel of The Arts Desk wrote: "...their presence on stage, and the harmony that binds them, is in itself a declaration of love and humanity."
Jazz Dock´s ten-meter-long futuristic bar is full of traditional, proven drinks and cocktails, as well as specialities and news for anyone with a fantasy. You can also enjoy Jazz Dock Kitchen´s delicatessen and treat yourself to a tasty dinner throughout the musical production.
