Jewish Folktales of the Mediterranean: International Ladino Day 2018

Paris-based author François Azar discusses Sephardic folktales and his two collections of tales, “The Jewish Parrot” and “Bewitched by Solika," which are written in both Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) and English.
Members of Seattle’s “Ladineros” Ladino-speaking group also perform the humorous Sephardic folktale "El Papagáyo Djudió" ("The Jewish Parrot"), adapted from Azar's folktale collection of the same name.
