When they were living in Spain and Portugal, Sephardi Jews were playing Ladinos music (language mixed of Spanish and Hebrew) before they were chased by the Spanish Inquisition and had to flee to Middle Eastern countries such as Morocco & Tunisia.
Back by popular demand, the American Sephardi Federation invites you to experience David Serero’s Merchant of Venice, featuring a diverse cast and Sephardi music. The French-Moroccan baritone opera singer directs and stars (as Shylock) in his own Sephardi adaptation of Shakespeare’s play about love, commerce, and bigotry.
