SefirothRe-imagining Sephardic music...Arboles lloran por lluvia, released 17 February 20121. Abre tu puerta serrada2. Erotokritos3. Dame la mano, palomba4. Y'ala Y'ala5. Arboles lloran por lluviaSefiroth is an international collective of musicians founded by brothers Nick and Alex Roth to explore and reimagine traditional Sephardic (Judeo-Spanish) repertoire with a contemporary aesthetic. Sung in Ladino, these ancient songs weave timeless stories of love, loss and yearning for home, evoking the lands in which the Sephardic diaspora settled: Iberia, Mediterranea and the Middle East. The group’s arrangements are as porous and wide-ranging as the history of the Sephardim, combining acoustic and electric instruments, improvisation, modern harmonies and trance-inducing rhythms.“I really enjoyed listening back again and again...I love the way you keep the spirit of the traditions alive yet do something totally different at the same time.”Fiona Talkington, Late Junction (BBC Radio 3)“Really, really beautiful…this music has an energy that is difficult to describe…exhilarating with wonderful contrasts.”Bernard Clarke, Nova (RTE Lyric Fm)"Explores the spaces between the sounds as much as the notes themselves… like abstract painting with music.”Glyn Philips (worldmusic.co.uk)
