In years gone by, no doubt Yasmin Levy would have been described as coming from "a good family". Her father was a leading figure in the world of research into and preservation of the Judeo-Spanish culture. Its language, Ladino, was a form of 15th-century Spanish later embellished with Hebrew and other languages as the Sephardim spread out to other Mediterranean countries. Ladino music now incorporates sounds and rhythms from a wide rang, and Yasmin Levy's repertoire is correspondingly varied, reflecting the extensive geo-cultural ground covered by the Ladino world. Through her voice and spiritual awareness, she displays an extraordinary ability to express the emotions embodied in this culture and from the way she sings you can tell Yasmin Levy has, in her heart of hearts, visited the landscapes she so vividly paints for our enjoyment.
