dbp:quote
  • There is a Spanish singer who claimed to be singing "an eleventh century Sephardic lullaby". Well, first of all, no one was writing down lullaby melodies – or almost any melodies except early church plainchant – in the eleventh century. And there was no such language as 'Spanish' then – much less Judeo-Spanish. The Judeo-Spanish of the songs people hear is a diaspora language. (en)
