   About Sara Alexander

 

Musician, singer, songwriter... & peace activist…

Born in Jerusalem, the daughter of Jewish, Gipsy, Turkish and Romanian immigrants, exposed since childhood to the traditional and contemporary music of the Orient and Occident, my music is a crossroad of many cultures, styles and traditions.

Née à Jérusalem, fille d’immigrants juifs-tsiganes-turcs-roumains, baignée dès l’enfance par les musiques traditionnelles et contemporaines d’Orient et d’Occident, ma musique un carrefour de nombreuses cultures, styles et traditions.

SHERALE (klezmer) - FROM THE YA SALAM ! SHOW

How, being shared by musicians originating from all kinds of origins and cultures, a traditionnal Eastern Jewish song becomes universal. Joy without frontier ! --------- Un morceau Klezmer un peu special, enregistré à Aubervilliers en novembre 2005. La preuve que la Scène Saint-Denis ne brûle pas que comme certains voudraient nous le faire croire.

RIMON - FROM THE YA SALAM ! SHOW

A tribute to Al-Andalus and the times when Jewish and Muslim cultures enrich one the other.Lyrics based on the Song of songs.

Some comments

Miguel-Angel Estrella : "A visionary artist, through the force of her love, her courage and her talent, Sara disarms all hatred".

Edmée Santy - Le Soir : "A voice sparkling with beauty and grandeur, forever dedicated to the most beautiful song on earth: the song of departure and of liberty."

Federico Mayor - former UNESCO General Secretary : " It is with peace fighters such as you that the link remains unbroken".

About Ya Salam

Ester Riu - El Pais : "Su musica es como su misma, puro mestisaje, pura fusion"

About Cafe Turc

Bouziane Daoudi - Libération : "Between the mythical Central Europe and the legendary Near East...Sara Alexander blends different musical colors into new marriages, combining Balkan ritornellos, Klezmer gigues, Arabic languor, gypsy fervor and Anatolian blues".

Olivier Bailly - Les Inrockuptibles : "What is one to keep of the dream when it becomes trappedin reality, without anybody being able to do anything about it? Bitterness? Or, like Sara Alexander, desire? The sensuality of her voice, accompanied by her accordion, is a perfect illustration of the latter. Musically, this translates into a rigorous allegiance to the delicate color scheme of the melodies and harmonies spread across all of the oriental part of the Mediterranean. Her knowledge of music, whether traditional or otherwise, easily transcends the rigid academic approach and permits herto play with the shapes without destroying any of them a sheer delight".

Bertrand Dicale - Le Monde de la Musique : "A beautiful example of a world music that has its roots in the East of the Mediterranean basin, but which also opens itself to the East of Europe with its pan-slavonic or gypsy influences"

Trad'Magazine : "Belongs to an oriental style, truely Mediterranean, between traditionnal,folk & classical, like some Greek composers. Beautyful".

Une chanteuse et une femme d'exception qui nous a tous réuni... Une grande perte pour nous tous et pour l'humanité. Elle était un exemple d'humanisme et de générosité...
Paix à ton âme Sara. Nous jouerons ta musique à la rentrée pour que tu puisses nous écouter...

La disparation d'un Artiste est toujours une déchirure.. Sara, Boolumbal n'a jamais eu l'occasion de croiser ta route, mais nous suivions certainement le même sillage, sur la planète Musique ..
Que la terre te soit légère

Sara, notre belle Sara, envolée, disparue... Toi qui étais la vie à l'état brut. Femme fière et batailleuse, grande poétesse de la paix et de l'amitié entre les peuples, beauté sauvage et tapageuse, ne crois pas que tu vas filer aussi facilement! Nous te gardons bien au chaud dans nos coeurs et dans nos ventres et, comme tu nous l'as enseigné, nous ne lâchons rien... "Como el aire, libre como el viento, como el aire, libre quiero vivir!"

Tes petits, les Madeleines.

Dear Sara Alexander

Every time that we listen or write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... Something is healing inside...

When we share it with friends... Something is healing all over...

Love can drive... in a simple way... everything

Have a lot of smiles... this week...

We are connected
