Aman Aman

Aman Aman was a group from Spain, active from 2003 to 2007. With one album, "Música I Cants Sefardis D'Orient I Occident", and a fistful of concerts in Spain, Portugal and Germany, this band, which ran parallel to L'Ham de Foc, provided a vision of sephardic music from a clear and conscious standpoint, far removed from absurdly academic, out of context, westernized interpretations that seem to invade Hispanic-Jewish music.
