What is Ladino?
In 1492 the Jews were expelled from Spain. They were forced to leave without their belongings, but they carried with them their heritage, their language (a dialect of Spanish called Ladino) and their love of music to their new homes. For centuries, the heartfelt and melodic music of the Sephardic Jews accompanied them all in the nations they settled, from North Africa to Balkans to Turkey, Greece, Italy and America to present-day in Israel. Those diverse influences are evidenced in their culture and music.

"Ofri Eliaz gives Ladino another vision, almost as if it were a perspective from above. Eliaz designs (with the help of her musical producer Shai Bachar) Mediterranean flowing music; music which is both eastern and cosmopolitan, like a haute couture designer who makes the optimal ethnic dress, to 12 Ladino songs. The result is enchanting and intriguing. The Ladino receives a surprising twist; the title song has a Baroque quality. Fresh and interesting." (Amos Oren, Yedioth Ahronoth, 30-1-05)

Lyrics:
Alevanta Djako
En bodas i en berit
No te amostres flako
Ke tienes mushteris
Chalkidji de meana
Yo les kanto sin kedar
Me maneo komo un barko
A mi ya me yaman Djako
Mushteri de meana
Kon entojos i parpar
Yo me vo komo piola
Para les yevar la bolsa.

Get up Djako
You've got weddings and 'Bris Milas'
Don't look dispirited
You've got customers at hand
