The Jewish Music Research Centre of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem mourns the passing of Moroccan Jewish folk singer Alicia (Benassayag) Bendayan on Friday, June 11, 2021, just weeks before her 99th birthday on June 29.

Accompanied by a CD, catalogued separately: Judeo-Spanish Moroccan Songs for the Life Cycle.
