Performing in Yiddish, English, Ladino, Hebrew, and Arabic, Marianna Moralis' impassioned vocals lead the party, driving an eclectic selection of songs from Jewish and Middle Eastern diaspora communities.

With fantastic music, brilliant audience rapport, and more than a touch of 'twinkle-in-the-eyes' goodtime showbiz, this is a set guaranteed to raise the spirits. Exuberant support comes from Kitchen Kapelye, a spirited klezmer and traditional Eastern European folk quintet.
