Kondja mia is a Jewish Sephardi song from the repertoire of Jewish community that settled down in Turkey after the expulsion from Spain in 1492
After the expulsion of Spanish Jews, Jewish communities moved to settle throughout the Ottoman Empire who accepted them and allowed them religious freedom.
The 15th century Spanish continued to be present but mixed with other languages.
In this song there is Turkish influence by using words from Turkish language and by playing in rhythm (11/8) that is mainly characteristic of traditional Turkish music
The song is sung by a young man that suffers the torments of love and swears he would never fall in love again. He is captivated by the charm of his dark-skinned lover who broke his heart.
canción sefardí antigua en Ladino. / Sephardic Judeo Song / traditional Jewish Sephardic music.
Canciones Sephardies de Turkey. Judeo-Español - Canción tradicional Sefardí
~~~ About Ladino / Sephardic language ~~~
Ladino, otherwise known as Judeo-Spanish, is the spoken and written language of Jews of Spanish origin. Ladino was consolidated as a specifically Jewish language after the expulsion from Spain in 1492, when it came into contacts with Turkish and other Balkan languages, and adopted a massive vocabulary from Hebrew. It is also known as Judezmo, Dzhudezmo, or Spaniolit.
When the Jews were expelled from Spain and Portugal they were cut off from the further development of the language, but they continued to speak it in the communities and countries to which they emigrated. The further away from Spain the emigrants went, the more cut off they were from developments in the language, and the more Ladino began to diverge from mainstream Castilian Spanish. Ladino therefore basically reflects the grammar and vocabulary of 15th century Spanish, but has heavy Hebrew and Turkish components.

    For those who wonder what is mysterious about the song: ​This language is rare, unique and mostly unspoken, it's a blend of Turkish, old Spanish from 15th century and other influences the Jews collected during years of exiles. The music is influenced by Turkish music where the creators of the song used to live. it's unusual to bring to the front that rare mysterious songs and still keep them watched, heard and relevant.

    There is nothing "mysterious" about Ladino. it's well known, well documented, well researched, Well recorded by others, including this Kondja mia. If something is 'Mysterious' People know nothing at all about a subject. There is nothing 'Tribal' about our music, are you kidding me? This portrayal in word and in the video is completely wrong. It would be nice if we can leave Orientalism at the expense of Sephardim at the front door and not perpetuate it, because this is not okay.

    Oh my gosh. I found this song through suggestions of KZread. This has touched my soul deeply. I recently discovered information about my father's family (a couple of years ago). He shared with my mum and me that his family background comes from Sephardic Jews from Spain and Portugal. They immigrated to Brazil and lost their roots there due to religious persecutions. I felt so bad when I learnt about this because it is about my past too. Unfortunately, my father passed away in 2019 and couldn't share much about his story with us. At the time he finally opened up about it, he was already with Alzheimer's. I am currently slowly getting in touch with my roots, and finding this video as a suggestion from KZread makes my heart warmer. Thank you, guys.

Last year discovered my mother's Sephardi lineage in the Balkans that disappeared by end of 19th century (further supported by high percentage of Iberian/North African DNA). We have hired genealogist to look into this further and so far are getting early indications of forced conversion in 1850s. Anyway, good luck on your journey!

    Tejana here. Generations ago, we were exiled from Spain due to Alhambra Decree that targeted the Sephardim Jews. We converted to the Catholicism of our new home remembering the harsh lessons from our mother country. Beginning of last century my grandmother tried to baptize my uncle with the sacred name of Saul. The priest refused saying that Saul was not a Christian name. My grandmother named him Saul anyway as my mother named my brother Saul. There is truth in what you say about how this is very easy for us latinos to understand.

    I’m a Sephardic Jew whose family is from Turkey! I’ve seen some comments questioning whether this is Sephardic or not. It is, indeed, Sephardic because it’s sang in Ladino and obviously about some sort of folk story. Just because it’s sigh, Turkish sounding, doesn’t mean it’s not Sephardic. Some of our people have lived in Turkey for centuries so we’ve of course blended the cultures together, but all the while we’ve spoken Ladino. The language used in this song is the key determining factor on whether it’s Sephardic or not. We were basically forced to move around from country to country because you know, we’re Jews and history doesn’t like Jews. So that’s why the sounds are so blended. Sephardic people were expelled from the Iberian Peninsula in the 1400s, after living there for a thousand years (give or take.) If we didn’t leave or convert we were killed, so a lot of us left and dispersed around the Mediterranean. Lots of countries mean lots of different beats. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Think about it. Also, Ladino is Spanish Hebrew. So yes, again, if a song is in ladino it’s Sephardic - no matter the style of music.

You do know more about your people than me but Konja Mia is beautifull song and i love to hear old and ancient songs knowing that none of the todays modern song can't compare to them. I don't hate jews and in my family we don't care about which religion you follow because we'll accept you for who you are. That's case in my family but i can't speak for other croatian families.

    This song and music touches the heart of those us descendents of the Spanish Jews (Sephardic) that were driven out of Spain in 1492 Alhambra Decree. As a kid in early 1960 in Mexico, I recall my grandfather ancient set of keys on an iron ring that hung by the door that didn't fit any of the doors in his house. The keys had been passed down through generations to the homes that my ancestors were forced to leave in Spain.

    I’ve never been to Israel, but I first experienced the beauty in the Israeli woman’s voice, when I was at the baptism site in Amman Jordan. I was standing at the river, and I could not see the buildings behind the small hill, but I heard numerous women singing, and I remember asking the Jordanian soldier if he liked that music, and he said why do you think they put me on this post? Because I ask for it all the time so I can listen to them sing. Wish I could go back one day! Beautiful music guys! Thank you!

    Makes my heart and soul sing even though the subject matter being about love and heartbreak brings me back to some painful places. If you are in your 20's and 30's (& beyond), searching for love, going through breakups or loss, i hope that your heartaches don't crush you. Pouring them into music and art is beautiful and I would say, necessary, to survive what aches your soul. And read the book of Psalms (Tehillim) because every emotion is there, pouring out every sadness, every agony, every despairing thought to Hashem (the Lord God). (Of course, there is great joy and celebration too.) "The Lord is close to the broken-hearted, and saves those crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18 When we are in broken state, it is then we are most open to being humble. I hope for all to experience the closeness and love of Hashem. 💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕

    Ladino is the language Spanish Jews spoke and it's very rare to find people speaking it nowadays. After they were kicked out of Spain in the 14th century , the Ottoman Empire opened it's borders and welcomed the Spanish Jews.Nowadays there are very few people who speak it - particularly found in the countries where the Ottoman Empire used to be. I know in Bulgaria there are very few Jews who speak it. It is a truly unique language that has barely survived. It is good to see that people are trying to preserve it and it's culture. Well done!

    I live in Texas and my ancestors came here in 1502 from Spain because they were Sephardic Jews and had to escape Spain. My husband is Arab from Morocco and what's weird is that we both can understand this song about 80% of the words. Since my husband is from the Mediterranean it does not surprise me that he can understand those old languages. Nowadays, my family is Christian but we look Jewish because our hair and skin tone is very different from most Latin people from the Americas. Love your work, keep it up. With love, from Texas.

I’m a BarShlomoh Son of Solomon. the New Testament is a lie, consider your ancestors who fled Spain instead of converting, or all the crypto Jews, just recite Adon Olam and Shema Yisrael, give teshuvah (repentance) and stop engaging in the idolatry and heresy associated with evangelicals

    The beat, the musical instruments, some words like kondja (gonca), chichek (çiçek), de (de), ke (ki) feel so familiar to me, a Turkish person. Truly amazing. It's fascinating to witness how many civilizations got embraced by our lands. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece.

    I am not a Sephardic Jew but a Latin American living in Australia. I was blessed to have heard Yasmin Levy singing on a World Music channel on a plane flying to the US. I fell in love her emotive voice, and the Ladino language fascinates me because of its longevity and persistence. I saw a video where some Jewish children are being taught Ladino. That is wonderful. There is a whole cultural history there that I hope continues to be preserved. Yamma Ensemble, thank you for sharing this beautiful music and language for future generations.

    I am so excited to hear music in Ladino! I've found very few artists who do so. I have a degree in Spanish and studied in the Northwest of Spain. I was very involved in local folk music, which meant that I had to learn a bit of the local languages like Montañés, Asturian and Galician. These dialects and languages still retain some of the archaic forms that Ladino also preserved, so listening to your music is a real treat to the ears! You have a new fan. :) קאמינוס די ליג’י אי מייל
