London's Guardian proclaims, "Here surely is the next world
music superstar." Yasmin Levy was born in Jerusalem in
1975 and was introduced to Ladino singing and culture from
a very young age. Her father, who passed away when she
was only a year old, was the leading figure in the world of
research into and preservation of the Judeo-Spanish culture,
dating back to 15th-century Spain. Today, Ladino remains
one of the most moving and romantic traditions of all time.

In her deep, spiritual, and moving style of singing, Levy
preserves and revives the beautiful songs from the Ladino/
Judeo-Spanish heritage, mixing it with Andalucian Flamenco.
This US debut tour follows her highly acclaimed appearances
at the international World Music Expo (WOMEX) and World
Music, Arts, and Dance (WOMAD) festivals. "[Yasmin Levy's CD]
Mario Suave blends her mixture of flamenco, Middle Eastern,
Mediterranean, and Sephardic Jewish Ladino traditions to
somewhere near perfection. If you're looking to plunge into a
deep pool of exquisite yearning and heartbreak, then just dust
off your trunks and dive right in." (fRootsmag.com )
