Winner of the International Song Writing Competition and Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Award for cross-cultural collaboration, Yasmin Levy has over 150 million combined YouTube views. Her eight critically acclaimed albums in Ladino, Spanish, and Hebrew, as well as tours have received high praise from top music critics worldwide, with performances at iconic venues like the Sydney Opera House and Carnegie Hall.
