Abstract

The music is one of the strong factors that keeps language alive in mankind, allowing historical facts to pervade genuine in the minds of people. In this context, the Sephardim and the Ladino have made a significant contribution to the arts around the world since their historical forced migration from the Iberian Peninsula in 1492. This article focuses on the rereading of the Sephardim medieval song La Prima Vez in the twenty-first century by Owain Phyfe, Pina Bausch and Willy Corrêa de Oliveira. For this purpose, the descriptive analysis based on the mimetic is used to summarize and interpret the case of new artistic developments on different continents, proving the progression and persistence of music over time and space.
