It's more than a revelation.
With only 33 years and 3 albums behind her, Yasmin has already secured a privileged place within the Ladino song.
Born in Jerusalem, came into contact with the culture and the Ladino song at a very early age.
His father, an eminent musicologist specializing in researching and preserving Judeo-Spanish of the fifteenth century, devoted much of his life to collect Sephardic songs.
Yasmin Levy's voice has revived these songs, fusing with flamenco, incorporating new instruments like the Arabic lute or the violin.
With their three albums has always been nominated for the BBC World Music Awards.
In his latest work has involved Natacha Atlas.

Born in Jerusalem thirty-one years, a singer Yasmin Levy is fascinated by the Ladino, the language of the Jews expelled from Spain after the edict promulgated in 1492 by the Catholic Monarchs.
It is a culture that knows from afar.
His mother sang in Sephardic and his father, Isaac Levi, who died when Yasmin had a year old, was an investigator of the Judeo-Spanish culture as a curator of a special department in the Israeli National Radio.
Just released the album Mano Suave, which has given the ultimate accolade to a long career of crystallizing point.
Each of his three albums has been nominated for the awards more established world music, the BBC World Music Awards.
The first was in 2000 with the album Romance & Yasmin, followed by Jewry (2005), in which the Spanish musical was even more remarkable, especially flamenco, after passing through Seville in 2002 with a grant from the Foundation Cristina Heeren Flamenco.
Yasmin says she is particularly comfortable in Spain, and perhaps in part this has influenced the choice of producer Lucy Durán, daughter of musician Gustavo Duran Teruel, musicologist and performer of kora.
Following record production incontestable, as Kulanjan of Toumani Diabate and Taj Mahal or Paradise di Gumbe Manecas Costa, for many critics the work of Duran would become synonymous with quality clear, especially when the sound has chosen a legendary engineer, Jerry Boys, the man who recorded Buena Vista Social Club or Kulanjan.
As a curiosity, Mal De L'Amor song is an unreleased track from Duran himself, arranged by his hija.La Mano Suave instrumentation (guitar, oud, qanun, flutes and percussion) has been enriched with other unexpected as the kora or Paraguayan harp.
So, musically, soft hand borders are open, which confirm guest artists such as Natacha Atlas.
Kekele
If we illustrate what the "music of return" would be very difficult to find a better example than Kékélé Congolese rumba band.
These great African musicians have created a large group with masters of the genre.
The group was formed in Paris, but its members are of Congolese origin.
His main genre is the Congolese rumba and soukous, with a mix of traditional Cuban rhythms and Congolese.
The group was formed in 2001.
and has eleven musicians, four singers, three guitarists, a percussionist, a drummer, a saxophonist and an accordion (the accordion is a typical instrument of Congolese rumba, unlike the Cuban rumba.)
Now present in the global market Kinavana dicográfico.
Significant title, a good combination of the names of the cities of Kinshasa and Havana, is a word as Congolese and Cuban.
The "Kékélé is a Lingala-language word that describes us a climbing vine that grows on the banks of the River Congo.
Woven Strings "Kékélé" are still used in parts of the jungle to build bridges.
Perhaps the band Kékélé weave his career like this plant as a long and safe.
Members Santa Claus, Syran Mbenza, Wuta-Mayi, Mwana Nyboma Dido, Jean-Papy Ramazani, Massengo Loko, Bumba Massa and Yves together make this imaginary journey from Africa to America in the diaspora and once thoroughly mixed all the rhythms come together there, return to their musical origins, Africa, for their creators to acknowledge them as his own, and bear the Congolese Rumba, an irresistible blend of Cuban rumba and African rhythms.
This is the sound of classic Congo before the rhythmic intensity of soukous dominate its subtlety.
A gift to our ears by his melodies and our bodies if we are carried away by their infectious rhythms.
At 20:00 pm, bring your Kekele Caribbean rumba to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento.
