One Night By Moonlight (The Passionate Songs Of Sephardic Jews)
Global Village Music

The Global Village label has produced some 150 albums, characterized by minimal liner notes and incredible music. This is a collection of 23 songs, interpreted by a western folk singer from Chicago whose Spanish comes from Mexico. The songs are western, cosmopolitan, and 19th century material; not 500-year-old Jewish cuts, but simple songs of passion and love. A worthy collection and indicative of what you can expect on Global Village: giving voice to music that we otherwise would not hear. - Richard Dorsett
