Renowned violinist, singer, and dancer Tanya Vinokur combines music, singing, and flamenco on stage. Ahead of concerts marking 20 years of her solo career, she spoke about unexpected turns of fate, the break with foreign colleagues after October 7, and life with her son diagnosed with autism. Vinokur, who repatriated to Israel at age 8, creates programs where Jewish, Gypsy, Balkan, Spanish, and Mediterranean rhythms meet. In November and December, she will celebrate the anniversary with three concerts in Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Zichron Yaakov. Guests include jazz pianist Leonid Ptashka, the ensemble Mayumana, and singer from Ghana Josh Black. In the interview, the artist discusses her impulsive decision to go study flamenco in Spain, her musician parents, and why she openly speaks about her son's autism.
