Judith R. Cohen
- ... that Canadian ethnomusicologist Judith R. Cohen dispels the myth that Judeo-Spanish songs have medieval origins and are unique to Sephardic Jews? Source: "The vast majority of Sephardic songs most people hear are relatively modern – they are from the diaspora, long AFTER the expulsion from Spain. Some are actually late 19th century Spanish popular songs learned from Spanish touring singers in the 1890s or early 1900s. ... In a recent film about the history of Jews in León, for example, a local singer and a Turkish-Israeli Sephardic singer find they know the same version of a romance, and conclude it must be medieval. Well, actually, no. I interviewed the Turkish-Israeli singer and it turned out that she had learned it from her grandmother – but SHE learned it from her new MOROCCAN neighbours when she emigrated to Israel." (Folk World)
- ALT1:... that ethnomusicologist Judith R. Cohen sings and plays medieval musical instruments (example pictured) during her lectures on Judeo-Spanish, Balkan, French-Canadian, and other music traditions? Source: "An accomplished performer, she has given solo recitals and lecture demonstrations on Judeo-Spanish, Yiddish, Hispanic, Canadian, French, Balkan, and medieval traditions, singing and playing the vielle, 'ud, derbukka, mountain dulcimer, and various early wind and stringed instruments."

Created by Yoninah (talk). Self-nominated at 20:36, 19 December 2020 (UTC).
New article is 9,470 characters long and nominated two days after first expansion. No copyvios detected (high confidence of violation due to proper titles and names) and duplication detector check of online sources[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (allowing for WP:LIMITED and direct quotes; AGF books and article scans which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 145 characters long (ALT1 is 193); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Refs 1 and 6 (verifying the hook and ALT1) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Image is free and in public domain. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:23, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
