"The cultural legacy of Judeo-Spanish folk song has best preserved the history of Iberian-Judaism. That music was created and appreciated during the old "golden" times, where it has been preserved and cherished. Those distinctive melodies and Ladino poetics echo with old Castilian, Aragonese, Catalonian, and Andalusian tunes and folklore. Scholars of Spanish history study them for information about the culture of Old Spain."
While there is a reference to a possible source to see the actual music, I would very much have liked to have seen at least a small sample.
