FLAMENCO SEPHARDIT will transport you to another era, Sunday 1/26

Flamenco Sephardit VII  TEMPLE EMANU-EL  Miami Beach 1701 Washington Ave.   Sunday, January 26th 7 :00  P.M. Featuring a cast of international opera stars, guitarists, flamenco masters, and distinguished classical musicians.  Flamenco Sephardit The show explores the connection between Ladino and Flamenco music, two distinct cultures born in Spain.  Ladino originated from the Jews who were exiled from Spain during the Spanish Inquisition. It emerged from the songs these exiled Jews composed in their adopted homelands using their old Spanish from the 1400s. Similarly, Flamenco emerged from the cries and sufferings of the Moors, Gypsies, and Jews after they were banned from Spain during the Spanish Inquisition. Flamenco Sephardit explores similarities and differences in these two cultures.
