Cordoba to Calcutta - Songs of the Oriental and Sephardic Jews

Voyaging through lands and time Joglaresa perform exotic and passionate music of the Sephardic and Oriental Jews.

The songs, kept alive through centuries of tradition in order to preserve a culture against all odds, provide a colourful and timeless kaleidoscope of Occident and Orient - songs that connect Cordoba to Calcutta, and the 12th to the 20th century.
