Is there any difference between the way ashkenazim and sephardim hold?

According to this article the prohibition against listening to music is regarding music that causes joy or leads to dancing. Thus, one may listen to classical, slow, chazzanut, or similar music.
Refer to the article for its sources and additional information.
