Yasmin Levy

[1] With her distinctive and emotive style, Levy has brought a new interpretation to the medieval Judeo-Spanish song by incorporating more "modern" sounds of Andalusian flamenco and traditional Turkish music,[5] as well as combining instruments like the darbuka, oud, violin, cello, and piano.

[2] On her second album, La Judería, she also covered the popular songs "Gracias a la vida" by Violeta Parra and "Nací en Álamo" from the film Vengo, directed by Tony Gatlif, which in its original version won the 2001 César Award for Best Music Written for a Film (itself being a cover[6] of "The Song of the Gypsies" (Greek: "Το Τραγούδι των Γύφτων"), written by Greek songwriter Dionysis Tsaknis in 1990).

[9] In 2006, Levy was nominated in the "Culture Crossing" category for the fRoots / BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards.

[10] In 2006, Levy's work earned her the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation Award for promoting cross-cultural dialogue between musicians from three cultures.

[11] Levy’s original composition, “Me Voy,” won the 2008 USA Songwriting Competition for the best world music song.
