Description

Notes from the arranger

“Kuando el rey Nimrod” is a Sephardic folk song that is sung in Ladino, a Judaeo-Spanish language, and tells the story of the birth of Abraham from a Jewish perspective. The original song, with its much longer lyrics and its maqam-based structure, became popular in the Sephardic communities of the Mediterranean basin. Around the year 1890, an anonymous author from Tangiers, Morocco, wrote a different version of the song, shortening its lyrics and composing a new melody in Maqam Hejaz. This reduced and catchier version has survived to become arguably one of the most popular songs in the Sephardic repertoire.

    Beautiful piece! At first I was a bit afraid I would never be able to put the two hands together, but in fact it came rather quickly. Very rewarding!
