Mor Karbasi - Daughter of the Spring

'Daughter of the Spring' is the second album by Mor Karbasi who burst onto the global world music scene in 2008 with her first album, and who has captivated audiences internationally with her gorgeous, exceptional voice and looks to match.

Born in Jerusalem, to a mother of Moroccan descent and a father of Persian ancestry Mor's music is influenced by several cultures. They come together in her predominately Sephardic repertoire that includes traditional Jewish songs in Ladino, the language from 15th century Spain that mixed Hebrew with Spanish and other Mediterranean languages, and in her own contemporary compositions inspired by the cultures of her parents.

Mor's first album Beauty and the Sea received rave reviews. She was immediately ranked alongside such globally renowned singers as Mariza, Estrella Morente and Yasmin Levy, a splendid comparison, but one that does not describe her unique style of singing and compositions that breathe new life into an ancient language. Karbasi has a worldwide following having performed in many countries: Great Britain, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Czech Republic, Spain, France, Sweden, Holland and Morocco as well as the United States, always to great popular acclaim.

One of the great young divas of the global music scene... Her voice is remarkable...mixing delicacy, power and control. - The Guardian
