Music Among the Crypto-Jews of Portugal: An Almost Vanished World
Hosted By: Qesher
Qesher presents an exploration of the Crypto-Jews of Portugal, focusing on the Jews of Belmonte and Tras-os-Montes, who lived in isolation after the early 20th-century “discovery.” The discussion will cover songs and prayers in religious and secular contexts and their adaptation in the internet and social media age. Judith Cohen, a Canadian ethnomusicologist and singer, will introduce interview subjects and emphasize their lives and cultural practices.
