Tinuviel και Οδός Ονείρων... Ένα σπέσιαλ δώρο στους μουσικόφιλους! Το καινούργιο ντουέτο της Yasmin Levy με την Ελένη Βιτάλη!!! Το Porque...

Κι όπως μπήκα σήμερα να πιω τον καφέ μου στο αγαπημένο μου στέκι, την Οδό Ονείρων, χαζεύοντας, πέφτω επάνω στην υπογραφή της απίστευτης Tinuviel!!! Της οποίας οι αναρτήσεις με καλύπτουν αβλεπί(πού 'σαι Σαραντάκο να δεις πόσο σε διαβάζω!):)... Με άλλα λόγια, ότι ποστάρει η Tinuviel για μένα είναι εγγύηση ότι θα μου αρέσει. Κάτι σαν την Χουανίτα δηλαδή. Έτσι λοιπόν σήμερα σας χαρίζω μέσω Tinuviel και Οδού Ονείρων, το ακυκλοφόρητο ντουέτο των δυο ΥΠΕΡΟΧΩΝ φωνών. Το Porque, της Yasmin Levy με την Ελένη Βιτάλη από το άλμπουμ «Sentir» που θα κυκλοφορήσει τον Σεπτέμβρη του 2009. Να εκφράσω και πάλι τις ευχαριστίες μου στην Οδό Ονείρων και σε όλα τα μέλη της που κάνουν αυτά τα εξαιρετικά αφιερώματα, χωρίς να φείδονται κόπου και χρόνου.

The forthcoming album Sentir was recorded in Madrid with the wellknown flamenco producer Javier Limón. On this album she returns to her spanish influences while still blending Ladino with modern folk styles. The album also includes a duet with Greek singer Eleni Vitali, and a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, who hand picked a translator himself to turn the song into a spanish hymn.

Οι δυο μοναδικές φωνές στο στούντιο

Yasmin Levy was born in Jerusalem on 23 December 1975. She is the daughter of the late Yitzhak Levy, a prominent researcher of the Ladino singing tradition. As a child Yasmin learnt to sing the women Ladino songs from her mother, also a professional singer, usually in the kitchen using pots and pans as the only backing instruments. An odd childhood memory of hers is when she and her mother executed the last will of her father to destroy his entire library of tapes and recordings of Ladino songs, an event she today has many mixed feelings about.

As an adult she has become the internationally leading singer and interpreter of Ladino music. In Israel her interpretations have been controversial to conservative music groups, mainly due to her performing them with turkish band settings as well as flamenco rhythms and often using the more passionate spanish vocal style. She feels that this is the best way to perform the songs, as they come from Spain and were developed in countries like Turkey and Greece. Being a capella in origin it is difficult to say that any band setting is "wrong" for the songs, and hence it is the use of flamenco vocal style which has caused the most controversy.

After her debut album she was contacted by a major record label to make a spanish pop album.A demo was recorded but the project was never completed. Some of the songs from this were later included on La Juderia with more traditional spanish arrangements.

Her latest album Mano Suave is considered by most reviewers her best, as it balances the many different influences and combines Ladino songs with arabic and catalan pieces.

Yasmin dreams of recording a traditional turkish album with a large orchestra and visited Turkey, the homeland of her father, in 2008.
