<p> The Judeo-Spanish <i>romancero</i> is a sung folk genre, and an oral tradition dating back to twelfth-century Spain derived from medieval Spanish epics and the Spanish ballad. Although the majority of the continental Judeo-Spanish romanceros were lost after the Spanish Inquisition, they are still found throughout the Diaspora. French poet Isaac Levy documented this in <i>Chants judéo-espagnols,</i> a 1959 anthology in which Levy compiled original fifteenth-century Judeo-Spanish romancero melodies in the Mediterranean regions. Argentine composer Jorge Liderman was inspired by Judeo-Spanish music after visiting Spain and composed <i>Aires de Sefarad,</i> using selections from Levy's anthology. In this study, the Judeo-Spanish romancero within the scope of Liderman’s Argentine musical compositional output are explored. In addition, the musical parameters of both the Judeo-Spanish and the Argentine romancero are investigated. A consideration of the interchange of musical characteristics of both the Argentine and the Judeo-Spanish romancero in <i>Aires de Sefarad</i> is presented in this research, as well as how this contributed to the emergence of a multicultural romancero.</p>
