I was born in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, trained in Opera but devoted to sing the songs of my heart and of my ancestors. In the Performing world I have been blessed with the opportunity to sing on the concert stage several operatic and musical theater roles with companies such as: Lyric Theatre of Puerto Rico, Boston Conservatory Opera, Arlington Philharmonic, Tampa Spanish Lyric, Opera Orlando and others. I have also performed around P.R. USA, Europe, and Israel as a soloist and with important performers of Flamenco, Hindustani, and Jewish Music. I love writing and singing worship Jewish music, Flamenco, and Ladino Sephardic songs that honor my Caribbean Jewish history, which is the reason why the BorikenSpharad Ladino Music Project was born.
A project devoted to the research of the Sephardic heritage in the Caribbean and Hispanic America. I invite you to follow my music and research journey as we continue to bring Light in to the world! Hope you enjoy it. Salú I Berajá!

El korason sempre alegre ermozea el rostro i alumbra los ojikos. ✡️🕎
It’s a chill day today and it is also a good day to remind ourselves of our Light. With so much going on is easy to sink into the realm of darkness surrounding us forgetting that we are here to shine brightly.
As we approach Chanukkah let us not forget that G-d has given each one of us an unextinguishable LIGHT.

Semanada Buena de Anyada mueva i de Shuvah🤍
שבוע טוב לשנה הדשה ושל שובה
Even when our soul is torn in pieces, we must stand, we must remain, we must trust. Knowing that the gates of heavens are open; Our Father and King will hear our prayers. ❤️🩹
“Melda kon saviduria tu tefila i el Senyor Di- te mandará berajá”. Ladino
Translation:
Read your prayer with wisdom (or intention) and G-d will give you blessings.
This Ladino saying makes reference to the reading of our prayers in our Sidur or Jewish prayer book. The intention of the heart behind a prayer is what moves HaShem’s hand of mercy.

The “BorikenSpharad Ladino Music Project” is a scholar research project devoted to restore, reconcile, and preserve the historical Caribbean and Hispanic American connections to the Sephardic heritage passed along by many of our crypto-jewish and Jewish ancestors through music, language, and traditions.
“Music and language are powerful sources of historical information that are able to uncover that which history in itself has not been able to tell”. ELYEHSVArleen
Today more than ever, we will continue to bring forward the “Lus de Israel” / Light of Israel! ✡️

May we face our battles with everlasting joy; with unmeasurable kindness, with unshakable faith.
As we enter the month of Av may we see the Light through our darkest time, may we find comfort in our Father’s everlasting Love.

Buen Shabbat 🔯 שבת שלום
I have been in a process of reorganizing my thoughts and regathering my strength.
This picture was taken a year ago in front of beautiful Toledo, Spain. This majestic river in front of me is a witness of the persecutions of many of my ancestors. History continues to repeat itself, but we must continue to be a light in the darkness and find joy through these difficult and sorrowful times.
Soon I will be sharing with you news, new content from the BorikenSpharad Ladino Music; new music, insights and updates about my doctoral thesis on the Sephardic heritage in the Caribbean.
For now, I am off to rest.
