Rabbi Rochel's Favorite Ladino Song

"Cuando El Rey Nimrod" ("When the King Nimrod...") is a Ladino song about the birth of Abraham. Follow this link to see the lyrics and listen to the song. If you want to read a short explanation of the song and its unusual themes, read the Wikipedia entry. It's my favorite Ladino song. I first heard it sung by the amazing Jewish band Divahn about five or six years ago. You can listen to the song and others like it at CD Baby.
