Ladino Hanukah Songs Shed Light
on Endangered Language of Jews
From: Rhonda J. Miller
Length: 00:04:24
As the candles of Hanukah connect Jews around the world, holiday songs in Ladino shine a light on a language UNESCO rates as “severely endangered.” An increasing number of musicians in many countries are singing in this Judeo-Spanish language, which means it is no longer just your grandmother’s Ladino. Read the full description.

This is a new clip that incorporates fragmented pieces of the entire collection of Juan Carlos García Hoyuelos. His poems were translated to many languages including Ladino
My composition “Avre Espasyos en la Noche” opens and ends the musical clip.
Enjoy the beautiful melodies!!!
Sephardic women have been central in preserving and shaping Sephardic culture. Women created and preserved the ties to the Sephardic heritage through songs and stories. In spite of repeated uprooting they demonstrated an unshakable commitment to their faith and tradition. Come hear about Sephardic women and their significant heroic role in keeping the culture alive

This is a description of my Ladino Project. Several years ago when I moved to California I embarked on a new journey, one that led me back to my Sephardic roots. I searched for information about the history of my ancestors and found a treasure trove. The historical narratives, legacies, rituals and the music all inspired me. I decided to develop a program in which I can share the beauty and glory of the Sephardic tradition through songs and stories.
This is my new composition to a poem written by Juan Carlos Garcia Hoyuelos from Spain who has just published a new collection of poems titled “Se Lo Que A La Noche.” The poems were translated to many languages and a few of them to Ladino.
Enjoy!
