Song cycle in Ladino for mezzo-soprano and piano. The song cycle Sarina kanta is sung in Ladino and was inspired by Sephardic folk songs. Various folk songs are quoted in the work. The first movement is a fantasia based on a poem by Avner Perez, Sarina kanta romansas, (Sarina sings romances). Sarina is Perez' grandmother, whose memory is recalled in this cycle of poems. The remaining movements are based on songs from the Ladino repertoire. Sarina kanta is also published for soprano and piano, and in the original version for mezzo-soprano and string orchestra.
