* "Fel shara" (or whatever the song is titled: Gerineldo' cd has it in "Huskudara Suite", track 16 of "En medio de aquel camino", 1994, CDG-1094 --- Judith: your help here, I remember you telling me some fascinating details about the song, and where it is from)
* "Wal viva, viva, nostro Burino" (track 36 of the CD "Italian Jewish Musical Traditions"): a Livornese song, whose text is in fact a parody of how North African Jews immigrated to Italy spoke in the 17th century...
(also, Ramon Tasat recorded a version of this song in his CD "Cantata Ebraica", 2000, RT100D -- I do not agree with the way it was arranged, which tries to reproduce a "Renaissance sound" that in my opinion has very little to do with the song, but it is a fun piece in any case! -- collateraly, it seems that everything "Italian", and "Jewish", and "musical", MUST have something to do with the Renaissance, with Salomone Rossi, etc....)
Best, Francesco

A fascinating website. I was never aware that "Lingua Franca" was originally the name of a specific language. That this trading language had many Jewish contributions does not surprise me: the Dutch market language also consisted of many Yiddish words and phrases.
By the way, it's interesting to note that this website has an edition number and a foreword, like in those old-fashioned paper publications...
Thank you for forwarding this!
