Mor Karbasi comes to Istanbul

The Ladino singer, Mor Karbasi from Jerusalem, will be at Salon on Oct. 10-11.

Mor Karbasi burst into the global world music scene in 2008 with the release of her first album and has continued to capture audiences internationally with her gorgeous, exceptional voice and looks to match.

She was born April 23, 1986 in Jerusalem, to a mother from Nazareth of Moroccan descent and a father from Jerusalem of Persian ancestry. Mor is a young woman whose music is influenced by several cultures, though mainly her Jewish heritage. Her musical influences stem from Jewish, Persian, Moroccan, Spanish and of course Israeli traditions.

All of her influences come together in her predominately Sephardic Jewish repertoire: from traditional Jewish songs, to her own contemporary compositions.
