      Fiesta! with Elbio Barilari

      Travels to Sepharad Sepharad is the name the Spanish Jews gave to the Iberian Peninsula, making themselves the Sephardic people. Expelled from Spain, their culture and their language, Ladino, has been preserved in Northern Africa, Greece, Turkey and the Netherlands. Jewish Sephardic music is one of the most fascinating music styles to come out of Spain. Fiesta shares recordings of this lesser-known style of music.
