Ladino love songs, ballads and folk music recall the lives of Jews who were expelled from Spain in 1492 and took their music with them as they spread throughout the Mediterranean basin. These songs would have faded into history if not for the heroic efforts of musicians such as Sarah Aroeste, an international singer, songwriter and author who draws upon her family roots in Greece and Macedonia (via mediaeval Spain) to help share Judeo-Spanish culture with new generations. Aroeste tells the story of Ladino music, explores the stories and meanings behind beloved traditional songs and performs a few of her own contemporary Ladino songs. In conversation with Nadine Epstein, editor-in-chief and CEO of Moment Magazine. Co-presented by the Museum of Jewish Heritage.
