After eleven years Shira utfila has finally released a new album named “Las amores sefaradis”, which continues to nurture and promote Sephardic culture. This is the seventh album of this ensemble, and the first in collaboration with new members Branislav Podrumac and Aleksandar Jovanović Šljuk.
As expected, listeners can expect in the powerful sound of the Arabic oud in combination with kanun, double bass, violin, clarinet, percussions, piano, and, of course, the voice of Stefan Sablić, this time whit support of soprano Branislava Podrumac.
Branislava submerges her soprano voice into the Sephardic ambience by bringing emotions into each verse in such manner that would make even King Ferdinand and Isabella to sing-along (the very same that expelled the Jewish people from Spain).
