What is Sephardic Music and where did it originate?

This vibrant and sometimes emotional music originated in 15th century Spain. Most of the music is sung in Ladino, the language of the Sephardim.

    I am proud to be Sephardi and a singer who keeps our music in Ladino. Thank you for shedding light on the sefardim! I was featured with my sefardi song I wrote in another documentary of the Sephardim, as well, that perhaps you know have seen. Bless you!

    I am Askhenazi and my wife is Hindu. But I have always been attracted to Ladino language and music. My Family Prayer Book was printed in Lemberg ( Lvov,Lviv ) in 1889 .But maybe,my roots are 500 years old,from Spain..

    The subfix -ez in the spanish family names comes from euskera language. It means "son of". Rodríguez means Son of Rodrigo. Martínez = Son of Martín. Your statement make non sens.

    In Portugal, the names were changed to names of fruit trees, like Oliveira (Olive tree), Figueira (fig tree), Pereira (Pear tree) Portugal was actually the first country to where they fled as refugees to meet their families that already lived here, not long after, they ended up being forced away again, when the Inquisition entered the country as well. They mostly fled to Amsterdam and London, and in Amsterdam there's still a Sephardic synagogue called Synagogue of the Portuguese, built by those who fled the country in the early 16th century.
