With a ship’s-horn power voice & irresistible stage presence, Eurovision winner Nani Vazana breathes life into the endangered Ladino Language. Nani learned Ladino from her Moroccan grandmother in hiding, as her father forbade the language at home. Her songwriting fuses Sephardic fairytales with contemporary storytelling and the sounds of the marketplace with Flamenco drama. Vazana’s new album Ke Haber was documented for the Library of Congress, ranked #11 on the International World Music Chart and #13 on World Music Chart Europe 2022.

Italian magazine LINEATRAD has me this month on the cover! 

Thank you LINETRAD for writing a nice article. It feels nice to be on this magazine as this is a publication that is all about folk, traditional and world music. They promote artists and events that keep traditional music alive which is what I do with my Ladino music.

♥️ I believe in magic. Or is it the magical? For me ,on stage that's where it happens, with everyone that is in the hall. On each note, between the notes and on each song. That connection is magic. Someone asked me yesterday if I ever get lonely on my solo shows. I said not at all, I never get lonely when I’m in connection. That’s what the shows are all about. Connecting together.
Next show:

Could you share a moment of kindness you experienced recently? Maybe an act of kindness you received or gave.

Some days ago in Amsterdam, my bike chain fell off, I found myself on the bike path in the rain and not knowing what to do. A stranger passed by and within ten minutes my bike chain was back on and the friendly fellow was washing his hands in the rain, smiling. When I offered him to get coffee and cake he smiled some more and said he was just happy to help and doesn't want to be late to wherever it was he was going... and so I was left with receiving this kindness. As I cycled away, I felt my heart and it was so open. Oh that joyful love in the light of kindness, how it comes from within, tickles the heart and shines through.

Wishing everyone a weekend of kindness that will tickle your heart and shine.

Close your eyes and what do you see?

I see music. Colors of music rushing in and then I’m flying.

So here’s my wish for this weekend. For everyone to have a healthy sweet and rejuvenating rest. To have a moment with their eyes closed, be present and emotionally experience what they see. Have a beautiful weekend everyone!

Long hair or short hair?

Oh yes, the eternal question…. Whenever I ask that question, people say oh just be comfortable and free. But I am comfortable and free with both long hair and short hair. Some people say oh just be yourself. But dear I am myself and I’m a very happy and grateful self. I’m just asking a hair question, this is not a philosophical debate :) Close friends just smile or laugh it off and hug me.

So who can I ask?

I wonder what gets your good energies going?

For me it’s kindness, gentleness, open heart and a smile. That makes me feel those good energies. It’s a good place to start. And then I can get to my herbal tea, chocolate, a walk in the park, lunch and from there to my piano.

My mom always says “you just have to smile”.

I knew that smiling is good for overall well being, that it releases endorphins, dopamine, serotonin and even lowers blood pressure. But yesterday, I was told, it also boosts creativity. It rang true as perhaps, by smiling, the muses find you more approachable and trustworthy so then they come and bring songs.
