Abstract


The fifteen ballads in this article present a special interest: their geographical origin. They were all collected from a Sephardic informant from Gibraltar, and therefore constitute a unique testimony of this tradition. Even though these texts offer a sample of Morocco's most widely known ballads, two of them are a rare find (n° 7 and 10). It would be premature to draw any general conclusions as to the characteristics of the Sephardic ballads from Gibraltar. However, we may underline some distinctive features of this collection: a tendency for shorter versions, even in the most common and well-known ballads; strong links and similarities with both the Moroccan and Andalusian traditions; and rare cases of dialectal Judeo-Spanish pronunciation.
