Sephardic Music refers to the musical traditions of the Sephardic Jews, who are descendants of Jews expelled from Spain in 1492. This music blends elements from Spanish, Arabic, and Turkish cultures, reflecting the diverse regions where Sephardic communities settled. The songs often feature themes of love, loss, and longing, and are typically performed in Ladino, a Judeo-Spanish language. Instruments commonly used include the oud, guitar, and accordion, creating a rich and vibrant sound that continues to be celebrated in both traditional and contemporary settings.
