Yasmin Levy, born on December 231975 in Jerusalem, is an Israeli singer of
Sephardic music. Her late father, Yitzhak Levy, was a pioneer researcher
into the long and rich history of the Ladino music and culture of Spanish
Jewry and its diaspora. With her distinctive and emotive style, Yasmin has
brought a new interpretation to the medieval Ladino/Judeo-Spanish song by
incorporating more "modern" sounds of Spanish Flamenco, as well as
traditional instruments like the oud, violin, cello, and piano. Her debut
album was Romance & Yasmin in 2000, which earned her a nomination as Best
Newcomer for the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards 2005, followed in 2005
with her second album La Juderia. According to her official MySpace page,
she has a new album - Mano Suave - which was released October 2007.
