Israeli world music ensemble Baladino is in Clinton County all week performing and leading workshops as part of Arts Midwest World Fest. Pictured during a workshop Monday at Denver Place Elementary School in Wilmington, Baladino’s Daniel Sapir accompanies Yael Badash in a Ladino song about a conversation between a girl and her mother. The group’s week culminates in a performance Saturday night at the Murphy Theatre.
Denver students enjoy the presentation where they experience demonstrations of instruments and rhythms that were previously unfamiliar to them while hearing stories regarding history of instruments and the origins of Ladino tradition.
Yonnie Dror demonstrates and tell the history of the ancestor of the bugle; the Shofar is made from a Ram’s horn.
