Ana Loulia NOLA

ANA LOULIA "I am a Woman" presents a musical tribute to the hits of the 1950s from Algeria, making its debut in New Orleans for the first time. The music, originally performed by Jewish female artists of North Africa such as Line Monty, Renet L'ornnais, Alice Fitoussi, and Simon Tamar, will be performed by Neta Elkayam and guests, with musical direction by Amit Hai Cohen. This tribute is dedicated to the legendary pianist Maurice El Medioni, who recently passed away. Maurice was intimately familiar with those artists, accompanying them and introducing their melodies through his piano all over the world. He arranged and composed many of them himself, graciously sharing them with us as well. With hopes that these melodies will blend into the New Orleans heritage, enter the charts, and be preserved for generations to come.
