KANTIGA ALTELI – JUDEO SPANISH SONGS

For five centuries the Judeo-Spanish melodies enriched with the contact of local cultures, nourishing from Ottomane, European, North African and Balkanic musical influences, dressing with new colours, sounds and rhythms.

The four musicians who form the band Kantiga Alteli perform these Judeo Spanish melodies, mixing ancient and new, written and spoken, East and West.

With rhythms that can be lively as well as solemn, highlighting the texts which speak of frustrated love, and lost lovers, desire, nature, dreams …

The six songs featuring in this CD are the following : Hija mia mi querida, Puncha Puncha, La serena, Entre la mar y el rio, Yo me fui para Marsilia, Kantiga sin lettra.
