The Festival highlights&nbsp;the remarkable diversity that exists within the Jewish community. Its tapestry of harmonies, rhythms, and&nbsp;cultural motifs are as rich, vibrant, and diverse as the Jewish world itself.. This is the first music festival to&nbsp;focus exclusively on the less familiar but captivating culture of the Jewish communities of Spain/Portugal,&nbsp;North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; min-height: 1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto; ">The festival showcases artists from all over the world, representing cultural traditions from Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) to Mizrahi (Middle Eastern/North African) to Yemenite (Judeo-Arabic). In addition to traditional&nbsp;liturgical music, Shabbat songs, Sephardic folk tunes, and classic love poems (Romanceros), the festival&nbsp;also presents artists who fuse traditional rhythms, melodies, and themes with modern styles such as&nbsp;electro, hip-hop, and dance music. The Sephardic Scholar Series, an important part of the Festival, brings&nbsp;performers, ethnomusicologists, and experts together to illuminate the historical and sociological roots of&nbsp;Sephardic music and culture. The festival also produces Fashion, Art &amp; Food events, all promoting and&nbsp;showcasing diversity.</p>
