I am in love...

once more. Just discovered a Ladino singer. (What?) Ladino is the language of the Sephardi Jews axpelled from Spain at the end of the 15th century, It was the mother tongue of Elias Canetti, who won the Nobel a few years back for writing books no-one has actually managed to read, but which are, I am assured, jolly worthy. Anyway this lady is called Yasmin Levy, and hangs out in Jerusalem. I'd have gone to see her in Manchester last week, but for the fact that I was engaged in a life-or death marital struggle at the time. But the woman is gorgeous, and does the world music thing like there's no tomorrow. Besides, she's an Israeli, and thus can do no wrong in my opinion, rather like Yossi Benayoun in his Liverpool shirt.
