Yasmin Levy - Tango Project / NOSPR / Adam Sztaba
Yasmin Levy is a deep female vocal surrounded by flamenco-inspired Sephardic music. Yasmin sings about love in the language of Spanish Ladino Jews, and she returns to NOSPR in a unique project with Argentine tango. Yasmin's album inspired by Argentine tango, with influences from Persian, Turkish and flamenco music, was the sixth album in her discography and brought her success and fame around the world.
The artist will be accompanied on stage by her guitarist, and the splendor will be added by the National Orchestra of Polish Radio, which will play the repertoire from the "Tango" album under the direction of Adam Sztaba, a renowned conductor.
Adam Sztaba is a Polish musician, composer, pianist, music producer and conductor. He has gained recognition by working with many stars of the Polish stage, as well as creating music for Polish film productions and guest appearances on television programs. He is a graduate of the F. Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw in the composition class of Professor Zbigniew Rudzinski.
Meanwhile, Yasmin Levy was exposed to ladino culture and singing from an early age, as her father (Yitzhak Levy) was a very important figure in the circle of people researching and preserving Jewish-Spanish culture, whose tradition has its origins in 15th-century Spain. To this day, ladino remains one of the most poignant and romantic musical traditions.
In her deep and poignant singing style, Yasmin simultaneously preserves and resurrects the most beautiful songs of the Jewish-Spanish ladino heritage, combining them with Andalusian flamenco.
Her debut album Romance & Yasmin, which caused a great stir among music lovers around the world, is dominated by ladino compositions. Her next album, La Juderia, brought a unique fusion of ladino and flamenco, while helping to shape the artist's distinctive style, in which Jewish spirituality and Spanish emotion found a perfect combination.
Since the beginning of her career, Yasmin Levy has been touring the world with great success. In 2004, she performed at many international festivals and numerous cultural events, including WOMAD in Singapore, Forum Barcelona and the BBC New Year's Concert in London. In 2005, she toured Europe and the United States, performing at London's Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club and the WOMAD festival in the UK and Spain, among others.
The following years brought a series of artistic ventures in the UK, Canada, Mexico, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Lithuania, among others. Her album Mano Suave (2007) was distributed worldwide by the Harmonia Mundi label. Recordings from this album found their way to many international radio stations, contributing to a significant increase in the singer's popularity and establishing her among the most interesting personalities on the World Music scene.
2009 saw the release of Sentir, an album produced by Javier Limón, who has worked with artists such as Paco de Lucía, Mariza and Concha Buika.
Yasmin Levy is one of the few female artists to be recognized annually in the BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music for the past three years. The magic of the artist's impact and the scale of her talent is reflected in the comparison of her to the most outstanding singers of world music.
Yasmin Levy's concert with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Adam Sztaba will be one of the few opportunities to experience the unique recording experience of the "Tango" album. We recommend this show to all of you and invite you!
