Ladino songs w/ Yasmin Levy @ CMA

Wed 2/23 @ 7:30PM

Israeli singer Yasmin Levy comes to the Cleveland Museum of Art on Wed 2/23 for CMA’s popular VIVA & Gala music series.

Check it out:

In her deeply moving voice, Yasmin Levy sings Ladino songs: the 500-year-old Sephardic or Spanish-Jewry songs that have been passed down orally from generation to generation. The Israeli singer was introduced to Ladino songs at an early age by her late father, Isaac Levy—who is credited with having single-handedly saved this magical musical tradition from extinction. Ladino songs are emotionally penetrating and spiritually uplifting. Part of the miniseries “Faces of Latina Performers.”
