Yasmin Levy is an Israeli singer celebrated for reviving Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) music and blending it with flamenco and Middle Eastern influences. Born in Jerusalem, she grew up immersed in Sephardic song through her father, Yitzhak Levy, a renowned cantor and researcher who preserved Ladino repertoire.
Her performances are known for a smoky, emotive contralto and intimate arrangements that explore love, longing, and exile while connecting Iberian roots to today’s world music.
For learners of Spanish, Ladino offers a fascinating bridge to the language, letting you hear familiar vocabulary through a Sephardic lens as guitars and hand-clapped rhythms bring the stories to life.
