Celia Gurevitch Jewish Community Library

SephardicMusic.org is a brand new website, created by Joel Bresler, chronicling the first 100 years of commercial Sephardic recordings. It includes survey articles on the 78 and modern eras, a comprehensive discography of Sephardic 78s, and a sample of what a proposed discography of modern-era recordings could look like. I encourage you to explore this site’s resources, including its list of labels, songs, and artists and the sample MP3 files.

One of the singers featured on the site is Yehoram Gaon. Our library has one audio tape by him, titled Shabbath Songs–in the Sephardic tradition. At the website dedicated to Gaon you can listen in to 40 of his hits. Our tape, see the cover below, contains these 14 songs:

1. L’cha Dodee
