Echoes of home: sephardic, ladino, and classic radio
My tribal roots are deeply entwined with Sephardic/Ladino music, melodies that tell stories of a rich cultural and spiritual heritage. Alongside these, I cherish the radio music that my parents and grandparents listened to – songs that filled our home and shaped my earliest memories. These genres represent not just music, but a personal history, a legacy of faith, and a constant source of inspiration for my ministry and my life. Join me in revisiting these beloved sounds.
