there was a sefardic chazzan, i think his name was Ben Soussan, who was into “regular” chazzanus around 15 yrs ago. he sang MK stuff basically.
what makes a sefardic baal tefilah a Chazzan? do they sing different types of songs.
i personally always love chapping a minyan by the sefardim. the way they daven together is beautiful. I used to go to bnei yosef (corner ocean Pkwy and ave P) sometimes. the aroma of strong turkish coffe was also tantalizing:-)
