Marcin Kydryński presents SIESTA on the road: One More Night with Yasmin Levy
NOSPR, Katowice - Friday, 12 November 2027
There are singers who perform a song, and there are singers who open a door inside it. Yasmin Levy is one of the latter. When she sings, the line between past and present disappears. A language handed down through generations suddenly sounds as if it were born today, and an old melody moves everyone in the room, whether or not they understand the words.
The title “One More Night” is both an invitation and a promise: one more night to listen, to remember and to feel without restraint. Under this title, Yasmin Levy toured the United States in spring 2026, with sold-out concerts, an appearance at the Kennedy Center and a return to Carnegie Hall some twenty years after her first. Now she brings the programme to NOSPR. Her concerts are not a sequence of songs arranged for applause. They unfold as a story of love, separation, memory, courage and fragile hope, where a quiet introduction can surge into fiery flamenco rhythm and a delicate melody can turn suddenly dramatic.
Join us for an evening where beauty and emotion go hand in hand, old songs find new life, and a single voice makes strangers feel part of the same story.
YASMIN LEVY
Yasmin Levy is a singer, songwriter and composer, one of the most distinctive and emotionally powerful voices in contemporary world music. She has never treated tradition as something to keep behind glass. In her voice, centuries-old songs in Ladino are alive and passionate, able to express longing, love, grief, jealousy and hope with striking immediacy.
Her music brings Ladino together with flamenco, tango and Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences. It sounds ancient and modern at once, intimate and theatrical in the same phrase. BBC Radio 3 calls her “a singer of remarkable emotional power”. Over more than twenty years she has released ten albums, from her debut “Romance & Yasmin” (2004) and “La Judería”, which established her signature style, to “Sentir”, “Tango” and her latest, deeply personal album “Mujer” (2024), about womanhood, freedom and inner strength. She has also recently presented her own interpretation of Lucio Dalla’s famous “Caruso”. Her recognition includes BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards nominations, the Anna Lindh Foundation Award (2006) and the World Music category of the USA Songwriting Competition for her song “Me Voy” (2008). She has collaborated with Natacha Atlas, Concha Buika and İbrahim Tatlıses, and performed at the Sydney Opera House and Carnegie Hall.
