 WHAT IS LADINO MUSIC?

In 1492 the Jews were expelled from Spain. They were forced to leave without their belongings, but they carried with them their heritage, their language (a dialect of Spanish called Ladino) and their love of music to their new homes. For centuries, the heartfelt and melodic music of the Sephardic Jews accompanied them all in the nations they settled, from North Africa to Balkans to Turkey, Greece, Italy and America to present-day in Israel. Those diverse influences are evidenced in their culture and music.

REVIEWS:

 "Ofri Eliaz interprets this music freely and expressively. Giving the beautiful ancient melodies new life" (Millennium Stage)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ofri Eliaz gives Ladino another vision, almost as if it were a perspective from above. Eliaz designs (with the help of her musical producer Shai Bachar) Mediterranean flowing music; music which is both eastern and cosmopolitan, like a haute couture designer who makes the optimal ethnic dress, to 12 Ladino songs. The result is enchanting and intriguing. The Ladino receives a surprising twist; the title song has a Baroque quality. Fresh and interesting."     (Amos Oren, Yedioth Ahronoth, 30-1-05)
