Alberto Hemsi
**Alberto Hemsi** (1898–1975) was a composer and ethnomusicologist celebrated for preserving Sephardic Jewish musical traditions. Born in the Ottoman Empire (modern-day Turkey) to a Sephardic family, he studied at the Milan Conservatory and spent decades collecting Judeo-Spanish folk melodies from communities across the Mediterranean. His *Coplas Sefardies* series reimagined these centuries-old songs into elegant classical arrangements for piano and chamber ensembles, blending Sephardic roots with European classical flair. Though his work was overlooked for years, recent revivals of albums like *Chamber Works* and the *Coplas Sefardies* collections have reintroduced his legacy as a guardian of a vanishing cultural heritage. Perfect for fans of cross-cultural classical music with a heartfelt historical twist!
