The impact of mass media and acculturation on the Judeo-Spanish song tradition in Montreal

Many Sephardic people--Judeo-Spanish-speaking people from Morocco and others from Greece and Turkey--emigrated to Montreal from the 1950s to the 1980s. Their music includes Judeo-Spanish and lyric songs derived from Turkish gazel and Greek rebetiko music, popular songs influenced by French, Italian, and Latin American music, Zionist songs, North African traditions, and Israeli folk music
