BALLADS OF THE SEPHARDIC JEWS

SARBAND

DOR-93190 Cover
In the Diaspora, Hispanic Jews handed down their medieval Spanish past: customs, music and language. The traditional songs characteristic of the Sephardic Jews were and still are to this day the romanzas in the Jewish-Spanish tongue - judezmo - which is today sometimes misinterpreted as ladino (a term which actually refers to translations from Hebrew into Spanish: ladinar) and corresponds to djudiyo in the Levante and haketiya in the Maghreb. The lyrics of these songs recount the lives or Spanish Jewry and tell of Spanish history.
- Vladimir Ivanoff
