Don’t miss this exciting live concert and multi-media performance experience celebrating Ladino music and its fascinating connection to Caribbean culture.
The roots of Caribbean music are entwined with strands from a distant Jewish heritage. Converso encampments hidden on mountain tops influenced Latino culture from Hispaniola to Puerto Rico. Elysheva’s Boriken Spharad Ladino Music Project weaves songs, psalms, instrumental pieces, artistic imagery and historic texts to reveal clues and illustrate the deep connections embracing a forgotten lineage — a sacred font of secrets and blessed kisses from medieval Sepharad
Ramirez channels her ancestors with a beautiful haunting voice, and has established herself as the only Caribbean Sephardic/Ladino singer and researcher, and the only Puerto Rican scholar in this field. She performs throughout US, Spain and Israel; collaborating with musicians of Puerto Rico, Spain, Israel, Argentina, Venezuela, and US.
