Produced and directed by citar, lute and hurdy-gurdy expert Jota Martinez, a group of renowned musicians has come together with the goal of bringing the music of this important period in Spanish history to the public. It was a period of nearly eight centuries when different religions coexisted through times of greater and lesser tolerance to each other, sharing their social and cultural lives: over 24 generations of Judeo-Spaniards, Moors from Al Andalus, and the Christians of Hispania.
Sephardic Legacy contains the sounds of Mediaeval Spanish instruments as well as instruments of Northen African and Eastern Mediterranean origin, and follows the example of the Sephardic people themselves, adapting their musical style to the instruments available and the regions where they settled.
