Ladino Folksongs Today: Judeo-Spanish Music

Drawing on his book, “Sonic Ruins of Modernity: Judeo-Spanish Folksongs Today,” musicologist Edwin Seroussi will examine a repertoire of Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) folksongs transmitted by Sephardic Jews, a process made possible by a complex network of people and forces extending from the distant past to the “post-tradition era” of the present. In addition to the lecture, Ke Guo, musician and Ph.D. candidate in the UW School of Music, will perform Sephardic folksongs.

What a wonderful lecture! Thank you for putting it on CZcams. I was very happy to hear Dr. Seroussi mention the importance of the Gloria Levi record of 1958, which I have owned since 1968. Gloria is also an award-winning author, and I am so proud to be her friend.
