Judeo-Spanish, or Ladino, culture sparkled in southern Spain until the 15th century Christian Inquisition decimated this meeting between the three monotheistic religions. Five centuries later, Yitzhak Levy and then his daughter Yasmin have helped to resurrect it through music. Yasmin Levy has shone on “world music” circuits since 2002, drawing on the ethnolinguist work her father left behind. Her three CDs, Romance and Yasmin, La Juderia and Mano Suave reveal the Israeli singer’s audacity. Yasmin was nominated for a BBC World Music award in 2006.
