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."

MOTHERS' RUMBA My grandma gave birth to my mother, my mother gave birt to me, everybody gives birth at home, so me as well I wanna give birth! Ref: My mum caresses me,caress me my mum, mamma. My mum caresses me, caress me my mum, mamma.
I wanna give birth peacefully, I don't want anybody bothering me, let my sweetheart be with me to share our tears or laught.
Just ask me and I'll nurse you, just cry and I'll take you into my arms, it's such a good thing to hug you and to ride a bike together. My mum caresses me, caress me my mum, mamma.
Maria has no children, but she as well is a mother, she embraces with her love all the people she meets.
You wanna have a mum, and I wanna have children, soon I'll travel to bring you and then we can be together. My mum caresses me, caress me my mum, mamma. Rosa Zaragoza
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, as seen by the female awareness. She has performed in some of the most important Mediterranean and World music festivals in Europe, Lebanon, Turkey, Tunis 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 13 CDs in all to date. Rosa sings with a spiritual sensibility that integrates the body including its sensuality. Since several years ago she carries out vocal workshops conceived by this point of view. |

Rosa is a Catalan singer who began his career in 1986 recording the only known five songs of Jewish Catalan known to have survived, wedding songs of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries written in Judeo-Catalan language. Later interested in the period in which the three cultures coexist in Spain, she was adding to her repertoire of Sephardic songs, as well as songs from Muslim and Christian traditions, with a special interest in spiritual music from these cultures in an effort to recover Mediterranean cultural roots.
