Música sefardita (Sephardic music) Sephardic has its roots in the musical traditions of the Jewish communities in medieval Spain. Since then, it has picked up influences from Morocco, Argentina, Turkey, Greece, and the other places that Spanish Jews settled after their expulsion from Spain in 1492. Lyrics were preserved by communities formed by the Jews expelled from the Iberian Peninsula. These Sephardic communities share many of the same lyrics and poems, but the music itself varies considerably (From Wikipedia)

We make little pastries out of it,
they shine on the plates
waiting to be served
with hard-boiled eggs.
