Ya Ghorbati Vinyl Record (Preorder)

*PREORDER*
Estimated publication date: Late 2026

In her album Ya Ghorbati: Divas in Exile, singer Laura Elkeslassy unearths the music and stories of Judeo-Arab divas from mid-century North Africa. Developed in collaboration with music director Ira Khonen Temple, the album weaves together North African Jewish folk and sacred music, ranging from traditional Andalusi style, to popular Chaabi, to Francarabe cabaret. The project looks across time and space to tell a tale through music of political upheaval, exile and displacement, ultimately questioning the supposed binary of Arab and Jew.
 
First distributed as a multimedia Ayin folio, with images and essays accompanying the music, the Ya Ghorbati album is now available on vinyl!
