I just got these details about a klezmer event in Kobe, Japan next week. A important event is about to take place in Japan. Several members of the Japan Yiddish Club wil attend, and we are looking forward to welcome many members of the JCC in Tokyo. Sometimes various recordings that I am trying to identify liberally mix and match the terms, such as one from Renanot in Jerusalem. My interests lay with the truly Sephardic music, not the Ashkenaz variants.
Any help welcome.
Best, Joel Joel Bresler 250 E. Emerson Rd. My interests lay with the truly Sephardic music, not the Ashkenaz variants. Nusach Sepharad may denote two separate things - one, the organization of the liturgical texts for prayer, and second, the musical modes of prayer. In Israel, there is an Ashkenazi Rabbinate and a Sephardi one, but there is no official Mizrachi Rabbinate. This places the music definitely in the Eastern or Mizrachi camp.
