A Selection of Judeo-Spanish Songs

Although he was a cantor, Abraham Beniso was also a trained singer. Among his extra-synagogue performances, he recorded commercial arrangements of few songs in Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) following the practices of several of his predecessors and contemporaries, most notable the London Spanish-Portuguese hazzan the Reverend Eliezer Abinun. See also in our website the project on the liturgical music of the Gibraltar synagogues, that includes the biography of Hazzan Abraham Beniso.
