La Mar Enfortuna is the Sephardic side project from the alt rock group Elysian Fields, Oren Bloedow and Jennifer Charles. La Mar Enfortuna is a modern interpretation of lost or forgotten music, mostly of the Sephardim, from the 11th to the 16th century, with songs sung in Ladino, Arabic, Aramaic, Spanish, Greek, and English. They incorporate the sounds of jazz, folk, rock, Middle Eastern, and Latin musics.
Check out ‘Ya Kalbi Khalli Al Hal’ on their album La Convivencia (‘the Coexistence’). ‘La Convivencia’ is a term used to describe a postulated situation in Spanish history when Jews, Muslims, and Catholics in Spain lived in relative peace together within the different kingdoms. It lasted from the Muslim Umayyad conquest of Hispania in 711 until 1492, concurrent with the Reconquista (‘Reconquest’). The phrase often refers to the interplay of cultural ideas between the three groups, and ideas of religious tolerance.
You can find more of their music here.
