Daniel Akiva is an Israeli guitarist and composer deeply rooted in Sephardic musical traditions, blending Ladino songs, Jewish liturgical poetry (piyutim), and global influences into his work. Known for his delicate interplay between classical guitar and instruments like clarinet or flute, his albums—including *Alma I Vida I Korason* and *Sephardic Anthology for Piutim for Clarinet & Guitar*—revive centuries-old Sephardic melodies while weaving in contemporary textures. His collaborations, such as *Hope - Music from Israel and South America*, highlight cross-cultural dialogues, often featuring vocals in Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) or Hebrew. Through projects like *May There Be Peace* and *Heichal Hymns*, Akiva bridges spiritual reverence with artistic innovation, keeping Sephardic heritage alive for modern listeners.
