Sefardi music, known for its rich historical roots and cultural diversity, originates from the Jewish communities of the Iberian Peninsula before their expulsion in the late 15th century. This genre reflects a unique blend of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, North African, and Spanish influences, often featuring poignant lyrics sung in Ladino—a variant of medieval Spanish infused with Hebrew elements. Characterized by its emotive melodies and rhythmic complexity, Sefardi music employs a variety of instruments such as the oud, guitar, and hand drums. Artists like Voice of the Turtle and Flory Jagoda bring these timeless traditions to life, celebrating heritage through storytelling and vibrant musical arrangements.
