La Mar Enfortuna is the Sephardic side project from the alt rock group Elysian Fields, Oren Bloedow and Jennifer Charles.
La Mar Enfortuna is a modern interpretation of lost or forgotten music, mostly of the Sephardim, from the 11th to the 16th century,[1] with songs sung in Ladino, Arabic, Aramaic, Spanish, Greek, and English.
They incorporate the sounds of jazz, folk, rock, Middle Eastern, and Latin musics.
Besides Charles and Bloedow, the core group as it now stands includes Doug Wieselman, Ted Reichman and Robert DiPietro.
Guests on Convivencia include Ljova Zhurbin, Chuscales, Liaqat Khan, and Benjamin Lapidus.
