5.0 out of 5 stars bridging 500 years, 19 May 2008
By Michael Gross - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Intriguingly, there are 6 old songs (mostly traditional Ladino) and 7 new ones which she co-wrote with her mother and a multi-talented guy called Joe Taylor (also producer, guitars, bass, oud, backing vocals!) . But the whole package fits so perfectly that you never realise there's a gap of 500 years between one half and the other.

Apart from the voice, I also love the haunting recorders. And there is something about the melodies of these songs from the tradition of the Sephardim (i.e. the Jews who lived in Spain before 1492, when the place was still multi-cultural) that is distinct from all other music I know. For instance the recorder motif in La galana, which I've figured out how to play on the flute -- you wouldn't find that kind of melody anywhere else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite brilliant!, 7 Jul 2008
By Mike P. "Mike P." (Carnforth England) - See all my reviews
If you get a chance to see Mor Karbasi in concert, do, you won't be disappointed - if not, buy this CD (in fact just buy the CD anyway!). It is stunning, the album of 2008 for me, beautiful voice, beautiful arrangements, it touches the soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mor Karbasi, 12 Nov 2008
By Henrik Lundsgart (Copenhagen, Scandinavia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Much of this music was heard first at a time when all known languages of the travelled world could be heard in the bazar of Cordoba. There is nothing museum-like about this record though. The feel of the music is more like gitano flamenco.
The stunning 6th track will have your heart mis a beat. The 10th track have the violin and flute turn oriental, and you are spellbound. And this is only Mor Karbasis first release. Expectations are skyhigh now.
