Featuring a cast of international opera stars, guitarists, flamenco masters, and distinguished classical musicians, Flamenco Sephardit promises audiences a deeply emotional and transcendent experience. VIDEO OF FLAMENCO SEPHARDIT PERFORMED IN VENICE ITALY The show explores the connection between Ladino and Flamenco music, two distinct cultures born in Spain.  Ladino originated from the Jews who lived in Spain for 500  years and 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. FLAMENCO DANCERS CELIA FONTA & JOSE JUNCO “The message of Flamenco Sephardit has always been to bring people of diverse cultures and religions together, to remind us that we all have similar origins, and therefore should live together in peace,” said Maestro Eckstein.
