Visit Arleen's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiGRc0SefiswUOB1EVsCLDA [Description below from Arleen Ramirez] This ancient Ladino (Hebrew or Judeo- Spanish language) song has its root in a "piyyut" or Jewish liturgical song from the 18th Century and it has become one of the most popular songs in the Sephardic repertoire. Avraham is known in the Torah (Scriptures) as the father of the nations. His descendants have certainly been scattered throughout the earth and the Caribbean and Latin America are no exception. Avraham descendants are present in great numbers among the Hispanic population. Indeed, the music elements of this song and its language speaks to us about the richness of our Hispanic cultural heritage, and how we are related to Avraham Avinu. The purpose trough this music project has been to research and discover the identity of those who are known as "Benei Anussim" or the "forced ones", those who were forced to abandon the Iberian Peninsula (Spaharad/Spain) due to the Inquisition, and how their heritage is a vital part of our music and culture. Our Hispanic culture still carries the undeniable traces of those Jewish people who once came to Latin America and the Caribbean looking for a better future in which they could have the freedom to worship the God of Israel. With the fusion of the sounds of our forefather's cultural elements and our Spharadi-Caribbean music heritage, we hope to awaken the hearts of those who are being called to return. We are the seed of Avraham, the light of Israel!
