Ana Silvera and Francesca Ter-berg introduce their project Yja –
reimagining the Ladino songs of Ana's ancestors. The debut single, La Serena
is one of many songs sung from a female perspective in Judeo-Spanish
and which continued to be performed in domestic environments the
Sephardic diaspora, particularly in eastern Europe. Archives, oral
history, folk tales and the classically influenced early music revival
are all part of the picture we have of Ladino music and help us
speculate about music in the past. Songs about love, first crushes,
revenge, snapshots of the time. Silvera and Ter-berg talk about their
approach to the music as professional music-makers and composers.
