"Ms Valadez has a haunting voice.The songs are interesting since Ladino or Sephardic music is rarely heard.There is a nice mixture of Portugese and English as well.The accompanying instruments and rhythms in general are new and different.It was interesting to note that Ladino was never a written language but passed from generation to generation.The music is mournful and joyful,and wherever Sephardic Jews went after the Spanish Inquisition they took the music and added the flavor of the country they settled in.,This is a very educational album as well.I would like to know if there are more from this artist."
