La Rosa Enflorece to celebrate Old Stuff Day

Yesterday was Old Stuff Day, a rather brilliant excuse to rummage through the attics of our memories and celebrate the things that have stood the test of time. While others were dusting off antique teapots, I found myself wandering through my repertoire!

To mark the occasion, I’m sharing one of the oldest treasures I play, La Rosa Enflorece.

This hauntingly beautiful Sephardic song has been bobbing along through history for centuries, carrying the echoes of a world long past. There’s something deeply grounding about playing a melody that’s been passed down through the ages like a well-loved family secret, and it reminds us that while our ‘stuff’ might get a bit creaky, the soul of the music stays perfectly young.

And here's the full performance:
