Neta Elkayam and Amit Hai Cohen, at CoM
Neta Elkayam and Amit Hai Cohen form an artistic duo and couple acclaimed for their work in preserving and modernizing Judeo-Moroccan musical heritage. Together, they revisit the memory of the diaspora and the songs of their ancestors, inviting listeners on a vibrant journey from Jerusalem to Morocco.
Neta Elkayam is a multidisciplinary artist and singer of North-African Jewish roots, leading ensembles across Morocco, Europe, Jerusalem and New Orleans. She blends Andalusian, chaabi, and Amazigh traditions with pop, electronic music, and jazz, and often appears as a guest orchestral soloist. Her work keeps a clear, self-driven voice that reaches back to ancestral memory through music and unwritten history.
Musician, visual maker and self-taught curator, Amit Hai Cohen creates rich universes with mixed identities, languages, and aesthetics through his highly multidisciplinary creative process. He has composed music for film and dance, including King David and Oil on Water, and he has created several films, including Stop the Eviction and the musical To Box with God, along with numerous other visual projects.
