From the evocative ya lil, ya lil of Andalusian Spain and North Africa to the poignant aman aman of Asia Minor and Greece, the project brings together two ensembles: Ensemble Andalusí del Mediterráneo (Granada, Spain) and Aman Rebetiko (Kavala, Greece). Their collaboration creates a musical dialogue where centuries-old melodies, modal structures and improvisation transcend borders, expressing timeless Mediterranean themes – love, exile and nostalgia. Born from the fusion of Arab, Berber, Iberian and Jewish cultures, Arab-Andalusian music moved eastward after 1492, blending with Levantine and Anatolian sounds and contributing its rightful share to the later birth of rebetiko in Greece. Layāli and Amanés becomes a living bridge between cultures and epochs, reviving the shared musical soul of the Mediterranean through emotion, heritage and art.
