What is the cultural context of this example and Ramon Tasat?

What will be an ideal response?

• People of Jewish faith from Spain called Sephardic Jews were dispersed to places such as Turkey, North Africa and South America, but they preserved repertoires of sung poetry in an early form of the Spanish language called Ladino. "Sephardic Jews consider ballads [such as the thirteenth-century ‘Abenamar'] and narrative songs sung in Ladino part of their Andalusian cultural heritage." Ramon Tasat, one of the performers on CD 3:10, a musical reinterpretation of "Abenamar," was born in Argentina to a family of Sephardic Jewish origin and is now a cantor (Jewish religious singer) in the Washington, D.C. area. His vocal style illustrates the "Arab singing style of Sephardic Jewish cantors, who trace their roots to Andalusia, and after the expulsion to North Africa, can still be heard in communities as far away as South America."
• CD 3:10 "draw[s] from a number of related traditions, particularly the aesthetics, instruments [see specific instrumentation in WOM], and techniques of European early music, to construct a musical reinterpretation of this thirteenth-century ballad . . ."
