Why this recording appears on our home page
The "Collection Universelle" includes the first commercially released Sephardic "field recordings". Lazare and Ana Angel were natives of Salonica, Greece but the actual recording took place at the Musée de la Parole in Paris, under the auspices of Léon Algazi.
