"The big news on #Jerusalem’s cultural scene is that for the first time ever, the capital will be hosting what is set to become the city’s annual #Ladino #music #festival.
Produced by Renanot – The #Jewish Music Institute, #Festivaladino Jerusalem aims to position the city as “the world capital of Ladino,” the event’s artistic director, musicologist, and composer Ariel Lazarus explains.
Ladino music ranges from ancient music and #liturgy to #tunes and #songs with #Mediterranean, #Balkan, and #Andalusian influences, as well as contemporary #Israeli music, with varied traditions and performance approaches reflecting the history of #Sephardi #Jews."

Day 2 of #oeweek brings a new OA title: 'A Country of #Shepherds: Cultural Stories of a Changing #Mediterranean Landscape' by Kathleen Ann Myers.
Discover the lives of Andalusian shepherds & their impact on ecological farming & cultural heritage.
This book draws on the life stories told by #shepherds, #farmers, and their families in the #Andalusian region in #Spain to sketch out the #landscapes, actions, and challenges of people who work in #pastoralism. Their narratives highlight how local practices interact with #regional and #European communities and #policies, and they help us see a broader role for extensive grazing practices and #sustainability.
'A Country of #Shepherds' is timely, reflecting the growing interest in ecological farming methods as well as the #Spanish #government’s recent work with #UNESCO to recognise the seasonal movement of herd animals in the #IberianPeninsula as an Intangible #CulturalHeritage.

Le Palais Manial, Le Caire, Égypte
Built (1899-1929) on the island of Manyal el-Roda, on the River #Nile, the palace blends Fatimid & Mameluke architectural styles, drawing on #Ottoman, Persian, Andalusian, Syrian & Moroccan elements for the palace’s many decorative buildings & art collections.
The tower above the residence, nestled within 34,000 m2 of gardens, filled with rare trees & imported plantings, & bejeweled by an #Andalusian fountain, has views from #Cairo to #Giza.
