Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Yasmin Levy is devoted to the music of her Ladino ancestry: this CD brings her usual fare, plus some extra songs she has written, with an extraordinary act of filial piety at its core.
Her father, a celebrated collector of Sephardic songs, died when she was one year old: here we get his recorded voice, singing the wistful Ladino love song "Una Pastora", to which she adds her own. Most of her fans will fall on this CD with delight, but I – finding her style too calculatedly emotional – have reservations.
