Yasmin Levy Tango - Yasmin Levy (CD) (UK IMPORT)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Tango - Yasmin LevyCondition: NewFormat: CDDescription: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION An internationally renowned story-teller, singer-songwriter and vocalist Yasmin Levy should really need no introduction. Over the course of five remarkable albums and countless world tours, her deep spiritual singing and passionate vocal delivery have made her that rarity, a true international star. Tango is thus Levy s sixth album and whilst her preceding one, Libertad, established her as a singer-songwriter of real repute, drawing heavily on the influences of both Spanish and Turkish music as well as featuring her trademark Ladino songs, here she introduces us to another of her great passions, with an album, and accompanying concert DVD, of sublimely arranged and passionately performed Argentinean Tango. It is a brave move, but one that shouldn t surprise us. For Levy is an artist who refuses to stand still, from her breakthrough as a re-inventor of Ladino, via her forays into Persian and Turkish song and her own flamenco influenced originals, she is an artist always on the lookout for new challenges, new ways to express the melancholic beauty at the heart of her beguiling art. REVIEW 4 / 5 **** 'Yasmin Levy has always specialised in drama and passion, at times annoyingly so, but now the Israeli singer has found the style that perfectly fits her powerful, theatrical performances and regal stage persona. Best known for her work in reviving the Ladino music and language of the Jews who were expelled from Spain and dispersed across the Mediterranean in the late 15th century, she went on to explore influences from Spain to Turkey. On this set, recorded live in Tel Aviv, she is backed by a full orchestra to rework classic tangos that almost all deal with love and pain. Her impressively powerful, emotional voice dominates the orchestra on the anguished Y Todavía Te Quiero, and she moves on to songs by the Argentinian heroes Carlos Gardel and Astor Piazzolla, whose thoughtful Vuelvo Al Sur is backed by flamenco guitar and bandoneon concertina. A triumph.' --The Guardian, Thursday 10 October 2014Artist: Yasmin LevyNo Of Discs: 1Country/Region of Manufacture: PolandRecord Label: World VillageEAN: 3149026009820Type: Alle afdelingenGenre: Classical Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
