Fiestaremos! presents the inspiring work of musician Judy Frankel. The film explores Frankel's dedication to preserving Sephardic music and songs. Interviews with Frankel, musical excerpts and performances offer an intimate look at one of the leading collectors and practitioners of Sephardic folk music. Frankel traveled the world seeking out songs from the Sephardic tradition. In one particularly moving scene, she reads a poem written by a man from Sarajevo and then transforms it into music. Frankel's work-uncovering, recording, transcribing and performing as many Sephardic folk songs as she could find- played a vital role in preserving a history and tradition that would otherwise have been lost to future generations. Frankel died shortly after the completion of this film.
