Introduction

Rosa Zaragoza started her professional singing career in 1984,
inspired by discovering the lyrics to Jewish-Catalan songs from the 15th
century. She performed these songs in a tour through Israel, New York and
all
over Europe.
She then began working with both religious and secular material
from the three cultures of the Iberian Peninsula: Jewish, Muslim and Christian.
As a singer, Rosa is always seeking to revive songs that speak
to us about Mediterranean culture and its roots.
She has performed in some of the most important Mediterranean
and Mystic music festivals in Europe, Lebanon, Turkey, Tunisia and Israel.
Rosa founded and is the artistic director for the Mystic Music
Festivals of Barcelona (2000 and 2001) and Valencia (2001).
Rosa has created 11 CDs in all to date. |

What
the press has said about Rosa
"More than great. Without any superfluous ness, but solid scenic presence, built over the experience. Rosa Zaragoza, dazzling, has crackled in 1000 fires tonight, lighting up the stage of Cartago with flames of passion. Unique." Ben Gamra, Le Quotidien (Presentation of the Azahar performance, Túnez, July 23rd, 2004) "...A
clear, fascinating and feminine voice singing in an exotic language, full
of feeling....With Rosa Zaragosa it’s possible to combine the spiritual
with the sensual."
"...in
a moment the sacred and the secular mix into an eternal, sensual dream.
The mystical and the worldly, Rosa returns to love... a space beyond time
into the magical grace of the sacred."
"In
'Matria, the Home of the Soul', the songs revolve around the concepts of
tolerance, love, conciliation, and the feminine. Rosa Zaragoza cultivates
the often forgotten religion of friendship through songs born of a desire
to understand and express the most intimate stirrings alive in a human
soul."
"Accompanied
by a Flamenco guitar, Rosa's voice moves the audience deeply (...) an exquisite
moment is when Rosa sings in Spanish and Mohamed Ayoub alternates with
her in Arabic."
