Ruth Yaakov Ensemble
Sephardic Woman's Songs of the Balkans (CD)

RIENCD52

The title song of this album describes a "ZIARA" (pilgrimage) to Jerusalem.
Since the first expulsion of Jews from Israel, Jews always prayed and longed to return to Jerusalem, the city of God. Since then the Jews have experienced several other expulsions.
One of them is known as "GERUSH SEPHARAD" - the expulsion of the Jews from Spain and Portugal in 1492 under the regime of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Sephardi refugees were invited by Sultan Bayezid II. to settle in the Ottoman Empire.
Thessaloniki, Istanbul, Sofia, Sarayevo, as well as Jerusalem became important centers of Sephardic life and culture. Ladino (Judeo-Spanish), the domestic language of this culture, is based primarily on Castilian Spanish and interweaves words and expressions from Hebrew, as well as from languages in the various countries where Sephardim have settled.
The pilgrimage to Jerusalem symbolizes the mental and physical yearning of the believer to God. In this private journey, the Jew fulfills the pilgrimage of all generations. Time crosses roads, past and future meet, thus the Jew experiences eternity arriving the temple.
Ruth Yaakov was born in Israel. She graduated at the Rubin Academy of Music, Tel-Aviv University, where she studied and mastered classical singing: Opera, Lieder and Oratory. She took part and performed in international workshops all over the world. Through extensive private research she learned the traditional singing style and repertoire of Sephardic music.
