Yasmin Levy (Jerusalem, 1975) is a singer of Sephardic music born in Jerusalem. Her father, Yitzhak Levy, was a pioneer researcher of the music of Spanish Jewry, often called Ladino music. She has brought a new interpretation to the international Ladino song scene by removing the folksified accompaniment of Spanish guitars and returning to original instruments like the Persian oud, violin, cello, percussion and piano. Her debut album was Romance & Yasmin (Ladino) in 2000, which earned her a nomination as Best Newcomer for the BBC World Music Awards 2005, and her new album La Juderia (Ladino meets Flamenco – in Spanish) has been released in 2005.
