Same artist. He has recorded as part of the group Alondra:

Sefardische Romanzen (self-distributed)
Sefardische Romanzen II (self-distributed)
Chants Sépharades Arion 33711

All now out of print, but maybe you can convince to give a second life to

Edwin and Dr. Judith R. Cohen are now working on a Rounder release of some 
knock-out Moroccan Jewish music recorded in the ?1950s? by American expat 
Paul Bowles. Due out later this year.
