Serphardic songs – Soprano Channa Malkin and Izar Elias guitar
The name Sephardic comes from the Hebrew word Sepharad, which means Spain. Around 711, Arabs moved to Southern Spain and for several centuries, a fruitful scientific and artistic cooperation developed between Jews, Muslims and Christians. These were the so-called ‘Golden Ages’. There was also an interesting musical collaboration; Jewish poets took Jewish, Islamic and Catholic ideas and mixed them with Arabic metrics and Andalusian melodies. This is how the Sephardic songs came into being.
