- Note that there are many types of Sephardic music, of which the Voice
- of the Turtle is but one. I would characterize them as Sephardic
- chamber music, pretty gentle as they go. If you like them, you might
- want to seek out the British Sephardic group "Burning Bush," which I
- heard on the BBC during the Sefarad 92 celebraction. Like Voice of
- the Turtle, but less "New England" sounding.
-
- Among other types of Sephardic music, you might want to check out some
- Israelis, like Ofra Haza, with her Yemenite songs, or Habrera Hativit (aka
- Natural Gathering) with their Israel/Moroccan music, both of whom are
- more gutsy than Voice of the Turtle.
-
- One good place to find Sephardic music is at Israeli folk dancing - they
- play a variety of Sephardic tunes.
