I am not familiar with Garcia Lorca settings of Sephardic texts.
On the other hand, Italian (American, after 1938) Jewish composer Mario
Castelnuovo Tedesco set to music Lorca's "Cancionero Gitano".
Another tip for the debate about "what is Jewish music".
Btw, it is a great piece for guitar and voices...

Shavu'a tov,
Francesco
