Kantikas is the Ladino word for “songs.” The Kantikas Countdown is a new monthly series where I highlight an artist or ensemble doing innovative work in the Ladino music world. Watch their unique insights into a favorite Ladino song they've recorded and then listen to their curated Kantikas Countdown Spotify playlist to hear some of their Ladino song (and other) inspirations! New episodes arrive the last Friday of each month. I look forward to sharing these fabulous artists with you in the year to come and for audiences to see and hear the breadth of our global Ladino music community.
