These 'Jewels of the Sephardim' that have been carried on the 'Wings of Time' are dedicated to the artistic embrace of Arab, Christian and Jew in prayer for world peace and tolerance. These selections both "exotic and exuberant" (the New York Times) are in Early Spanish/Judeo-Espanol. This album augments Songbird Music's first Sephardic album 'Jewels of the Sephardim'. It includes biblical tales, courtship and wedding songs, endearing funeral songs, and Medieval Hebrew poetry that Lauren set to sephardic tunes. "Extraordinary emotional intensity and musical precision" (the Boston Phoenix). "World Music from another century with enormous appeal". (San Francisco Examiner)
