“Spine-tingling
Gypsy music from a bright new singing talent,” Jewish
Chronicle
When Spain’s Ladino-speaking Jewish population fled
the Inquisition in 1492, only their most beautiful songs
survived.
Stunning young singer Mor Karbasi is now reviving this
ancient tradition. Descended from Moroccan and Persian
Jewish parents, Mor sings in Ladino as well as Spanish,
Hebrew and English, with a strong flamenco flavour
throughout.
She has performed at Womad, London’s Purcell Room and
in festivals across the UK.
“She
sounds as dramatic as she looks, switching effortlessly
from songs that mix flamenco and North African influences
… through to old Ladino songs.” Guardian
