Nani Vazana
Nani Vazana is a millennial Ladino songwriter, she won the Eurovision for minority languages 2024 “Liet International” representing the Netherlands with her original song Una Segunda Piel (A Second Skin).
Described by BBC Radio 3 as “a voice that transports you from ancient markets to modern jazz clubs in one breath”, Vazana’s music breathes new life into Ladino—the nearly lost language of Sephardic Jews—through soulful vocals, flamenco-inspired melodies, and raw, contemporary storytelling.
Nani captures the spirit of the ancient, matriarchal Ladino language & propels it into the future w/ socially pertinent lyrics celebrating migration, gender & female empowerment. The soundscape captures the sounds & smells of the marketplace and fuses them with raw, flamenco like vocals, soft choral trombone, mariachi guitar & percussion & piano.
Vazana’s music was recognized and preserved by the Library of CongressUSA and her album Ke Haber (What’s New) ranked #11 World Music Charts and #13 Music Charts Europe. She performed at the Kennedy Center USA, London Jazz Festival UK and TEDx Amsterdam.
