| Voices of Sepharad explores a stunning Jewish
cultural tradition of song and dance which originated in medieval
Spain (Sepharad in Hebrew). Graceful, fiery, and elegant, the
melodies and their archaic Judeo-Spanish dialect were sung throughout
the Mediterranean world, where Jews resettled after their expulsion
from Spain in 1492. In time, the Sephardic Jews acquired new forms
of expression related to their new locals, and created an enormous
repertoire of songs and cultural traditions which has continued
to develop into this century.
Active since 1986, Voices of Sepharad has performed to critical
acclaim throughout North America and Europe. From the New World
School of the Arts in Miami, Gindi Auditorium in Los Angeles and
Manhattan’s Danspace Project to the internationally renowned
Jewish Theater in Warsaw, Voices of Sepharad has displayed its
unique talent for creating vivid and moving performances. Our
shows are presented in venues ranging from live radio and television
to cabaret and proscenium stage. All arrangements of the music
have been developed collaboratively by the ensemble and attempt
to fuse the traditions of the Sephardic past with a contemporary
sensibility.
Voices of Sepharad has released three recordings:
Pasión, Viva Sepharad, and Hamsa.
