Francoise
Atlan
Francoise Atlan is one of Morocco's leading singers not only of
Sephardic but also Arabic song and enjoys huge popularity among
both Jewish and Muslim communities. Ms. Atlan is gifted with a most
outstanding voice, sweet but not overly so, at once firm and strong
and delicate, and endowed with a great spiritual quality. This lady
could sing gangsta rap and make it sound good!
Françoise Atlan is one in the most beautiful voices specialized
in the songs of the Mediterranean Sea. She sings in ladino the Sephardic
romances of the Jewish communities of North Africa or Andalusia,
in occitan the classical laments of the troubadours, in Arabic the
arabo-andalusian melodies. But, it is above all as a woman of the
Mediterranean, this sea of the sharing, that lives Françoise
Atlan.
