PRESS RELEASE
LADINO SINGER IN PORTO WEDNESDAY MARCH 28, 2007
American Friends of Marranos are sponsoring Vanessa Paloma, a reknowned Ladino singer based in Los Angeles, California who will perform at the Literary Club of Porto Rua Nova Da Alfandega No. 22 at 10:30 pm.
This event is being sponsored by Ladina, Association of Sephardic Culture (ladina.blogspot.com).
Ladino, also known as Judeo-Spanish is the language that was maintained by Sephardic Jews after the expulsion from Iberia in the late 15th century. This language is a combination of Hebrew, Castillian, Portuguese, Greek, Turkish or other languages depending on where the people settled.
Vanessa Paloma sings with a replica of a 13th century harp and a 12th century sinfonia. These songs, passed down throughout the generations orally by women,tell stories about life, love and honor. Many of them are allegories of mystical love between the soul and the Divine.
