Israel's Yasmin Levy

Yasmin Levy--innovative singer of Sephardic culture's endangered language, Ladino--performed on Saturday evening at Symphony Space, presented by World Music Institute. Her show was perfection--from Levy's own romantic, dramatic elegance to the exhilarating lilt of her skillful band. If you enjoy fado or flamenco, you will find much to admire in her stylistic approach and musical arrangements. Go here to sample songs from her new CD, Sentir, and her most recent North American release, Mano Suave; and check the schedule of remaining tour dates (North America and France). Be sure to give yourself a generous gift and catch her next time.
