Dweck-Lec'-Tic: the Lazarus Project at Dweck-lec'-tic at Brooklyn Public Library Dweck Auditorium and Outdoor Plaza

Inspired by the artists’ Sephardic family roots, Vlada Tomova and Chris Rael blended old Ladino singing with Western and South Asian influences. The Lazarus Project features an exceptional array of instruments: Indian sitar, Portuguese guitar, Turkish saz, an extraordinary collection of world percussion from Africa, India and the Middle East, as well as violin, 12-string guitar, bass, and the option of adding viola and bassoon. With this unorthodox instrumentation, they offer audiences a unique, exuberant perspective on these traditional music forms.
