Definition of Yasmin levy

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 is currently working on a new album - Mano Suave - which will be released late summer/early fall 2007.
