Next@19th partners with the CAJE Miami Jewish Film Festival in a community celebration of noteworthy Jewish music and cinematography. On Wednesday, January 25 at 6:30 p.m., the collaborative will present a screening of Ladino: 500 Years Young at Regal Theaters in South Beach (1120 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach). Following the film at 8:00 p.m., Next@19th (137 NE 19th Street, Miami) turns up the volume at their downtown venue with an exclusively Ladino performance by chanteuse Susana Behar, paying tribute to the music of the film.
Behar will perform energetic sets of Spanish-Judeo tunes, taking viewers on a musical journey under the palms in the center’s outdoor café setting, celebrating the geographical diversity of culture from Spain to the Ottoman Empire.
Born in La Habana to a Cuban/Turkish Sephardic family, Behar grew up listening to her mother’s ‘kantikas’ in Judeo-Spanish and her father’s vibrant Cuban rhythms. After showing interest in music as early as 7 years old, Behar indulged in the Cuban and Jewish cultures of Miami and has participated in many cultural events in addition to private engagements.
