Music and History – The Sephardi

Jews and the Ladino language
November 27, 2014 GideonMUSIC

The Spanish Holocaust lasted several hundred years; the inquisition

continued to jail, torture, and murder Jews who were forced to convert
to Christianity long after the expulsion ended. The Sephardi Jews who
survived the expulsion and the Spanish inquisition, dispersed
throughout  the Mediterranean region. They traveled  to England,
Belgium, and Holland. Some of them traveled as far as America in their
search for a safe place to live.The first Jewish communities in America
where of Sephardi Jews.

Life was difficult for the Sephardi Jews. Still, they preserved their
language (Ladino), their tradition, and their songs and music. A sample
of their music and an overview of the Sephardi Jews’ culture and
history is presented here in several videos. Each video is different in
length and content.  English subtitles are included where needed.
