From the Artist

"Because we haven't heard our grandmothers sing these songs we've come at them from our own angles" adds Hayley. Daniel chips in "We are modern people and living in London we're doing what Londoners do best - taking something and investing it with what we've heard around us, making it our own and creating something fresh" "Being pushed around from country to country, often vilified, the history of the Sephardic communities is tragic" adds Jean Marc, "yet these songs are full of life, pride and passion and are a link back to a golden age of Spain when Muslims, Jews and Christians lived together in a time of prosperity and cultural cross-fertilisation." Hayley agrees: "People have preconceptions of Jewish culture as being obsessed with tragedy or the Holocaust yet this music for me is very positive. Jews aren't all about misery, death, black hats and curly ringlets - Sephardic songs tend to be more romantic, earthy and more diverse than a lot of Klezmer songs - these songs have Latin fire in their bellies!"

Product Description

Los Desterrados - The Exiles - are a London based sextet who on their album TU have created their own cosmopolitan take on the rootsy, Mediterranean folk music of the Sephardic Jews. Whilst many people will be familiar with the brass-heavy Klezmer music of Eastern Europe, the music of the Sephardic Jews is less well known. Growing up in the Iberian peninsula, the community was expelled from Spain and Portugal at the end of the 15th century by the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella. The majority of them went on to found new communities in countries around the Mediterranean basin such as Morocco, Turkey, Greece, Bosnia and France. All these influences can be heard on TU from the Turkish percussion of El Rey De Francia Tres Hijas Tenia to the Greek sarki of Ocho Kandelikas. Daniel Jonas, the founder of Los Des (as their fans affectionately call them), describes their music as Sephardic Flamenco, yet within the genre they have created a sound that is wholly their own. Whilst the songs on the album are all traditional, with vocals sung either in Ladino - the language of the Sephardic Jews - or Hebrew, Los Desterrados wield boisterous rhythms, mellifluous melodies and anarchic arrangements that will see them appeal to fans of Radio Tarifa and the Gypsy Kings, as well as the more traditional Sephardic artists such as Yasmin Levy. Los Desterrados: Daniel Jonas [vocals, guitar, oud], Hayley Blitz [vocals], Ariane Todes [violin], Jean-Marc Barsam [vocals, bass], Mark Greenfield [cajon, darbouka, daf], Andrew Salida [vocals, flute, guitar].

About the Artist

Los Desterrados was founded by Daniel (vocals, guitar, `oud) in 1999 with two good friends Jake Baum (guitar) and Hayley Blitz (vocals). They then called upon the talents of Jean-Marc Barsam (vocals, bass), Mark Greenfield (cajón, darbouka, daf) and Ariane Todes (violin) to help record the debut CD `Por Dos Levanim' in 2001. Recorded the week that Daniel was scheduled to be on his honeymoon he confirms that "the pain on that CD is real!" The following year, Jake left to move to Australia and replaced by Andrew Salida (vocals, flute, guitar), the definitive Los Des line up was formed. Daniel is the self-confessed "group fundamentalist", a practising Sephardi Jew, he brings the Sephardic and Middle Eastern influences to Los Des. A former shred-guitar master he got bored of playing in his bedroom and looking to his roots for inspiration his love affair with Sephardic music began by learning Flamenco guitar from a Spanish gypsy. As a graduate of the Royal Academy and editor of `The Strad' - the magazine for bowed string players
