This new Cd in the collection «Musical Heritage of the Jews of France» focuses on the music of Sephardic Jews expelled from Spain (1492) and Portugal (1497). Alberto Hemsi, born on June 27, 1898 to parents of Italian nationality in Cassaba, Turkey, settled in Paris in the fifties. This renowned musician was awarded numerous prizes. He has left a vast array of musical works, of exceptional musical quality, often unpublished. The Coplas Sefardies presented here offer a new vision of the Jewish-Spanish oral tradition; magnified by the composer’s personal creativity. This symbiosis between oral spontaneity and written thought, traditional song and modern piano music, is particularly well mastered in his work.

Pedro Aledo is a singer, composer, author and painter. His artistic journey has led him through varied musical experiences: variety, neo-classical, medieval, baroque and, particularly, a deep involvement in the traditional music of the Mediterranean area. He is accompanied by the talented pianist Ludovic Amadeus Selim, holder of many awards and medals.
