the traditional folk voice of

Yasmin Levy

CD (2005)

Choice MusicYasmin Levy : La Juderia (IS/SP,2005)***

Heartfelt songs from the Ladino/ Judeo-Spanish heritage, mixed with the deep feelings and stylistic leanings of Andalusian and Spanish Flamenco. Especially a song like "La Nina de las flores" shows the link between Arab-Andalusian music and flamenco. The more pop-flamenco track "Locura" uses oud, flamenco guitar, flutes (ney and Turkish clarinet) and percussion. Effective or calmly melancholic.

Audio : "Naci en Alamo (vengo)", "Me Voy", "Gracias a la vida" ; video : "La Alegria"
