“You’ll feel as if you’ve traveled across oceans and back through time. Between these three dynamic and versatile musicians, a living musical tradition, alive with heartbreak and hope, is being carried into the future.”

–Marjorie Sandor, author of The Secret Music at Tordesillas

Trio Sefardi celebrates the musical heritage of the exiled Jews of Spain, the Sephardim, with songs in Ladino about love and courtship, holidays and hope. They are dedicated to bringing the vibrant past into the living present and to continuing the musical traditions of those who created and sustained Sephardic song traditions over the centuries.

Formed in 2010, the trio draws on experience in folk music, jazz, early music, and the influence of their mentor, the Bosnian-born Sephardic singer/composer Flory Jagoda (1923 – 2021).

Trio Sefardi has performed at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Kennedy Center, the National Gallery of Art, the Piccolo Spoleto Festival, and the Center for Jewish History. Last year the group released its fifth recording, Kinze Anyos/Fifteen Years.
