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:
Ir me kero madre a Yerushalayim
A pizar las tierras
I artarme d'eyas
En El me arimo yo
En El m'asiguro yo
En el Senyor de todo el mundo.
A Yerushalayim la veo d'enfrente
Olvido mis ijos
I mis parientes.

I want to go to Jerusalem, mother
Walk on the ground and be fed by it.
I am leaning on him,
I trust him,
The Lord of all people.
Jerusalem
when I see her opposite me
I forget children and my parents.
