Sephardic Music Comes to Light
Joel Bresler announces the launch of his website on
Sephardic Music: A Century of Recordings,
www.sephardicmusic.org. The site chronicles the first 100 years of commercial Sephardic recordings. It includes survey articles on the 78 and modern eras, a comprehensive discography of Sephardic 78s, and a sample of what a future discography of modern-era recordings could look like.
Visit this site to learn about Sephardic repertory and performance practices, and hear clips of famous Sephardi singers and musicians. The site provides access to information by label, by song and by artist. There are many images of covers and performers. The site also provides sound recordings divided into time periods. This site will prove especially useful in the years to come to anyone with an interest in music of the Sephardic Jewish community.
