Artist description The flowering of Sephardic Jewish culture which poured profusely out of the Iberian Peninsula through poetry, discourse and song for over seven centuries is a vital cultural heritage of both the Jewish and Spanish people - it is a direct link from the past to the present. FLOR DE SERENA captures the timeless essence of the romantic Judeo-Spanish musical tradition and shares it for all to enjoy - like a fragrant spice translated into artistic expression. Partaking of the rich cultural treasures preserved and offered by these musicians is truly a taste to be savored and cherished.
