REVIEWS

Classy Ladino guitar
author: Holly
I took a chance on this CD. I'm not a fan of "classical" music. I do like acoustic guitar and I am interested in learning more about Sephardic Jewish culture. I can't comment on guitar work since I don't play the guitar. I do like the style, however. I liked some of the pieces more than others - need to give it a few more spins. I was surprised I liked the two vocals more than I did the instrumental pieces that make up the bulk of the CD! I'm happy that people have preserved this Jewish musical heritage. I would listen to this on a Sunday afternoon while reading or working a crossword puzzle. It may be five stars to someone who has more knowledge of music.
