The roots of prayer explored by 3 young Israeli composers
Tzadik
Sacred texts of the Mishna, prayers from North Africa and the Middle-East, modern Hebrew poetry and even a letter discovered in the streets of Jerusalem are the bases of this fascinating exploration of the roots of Hebrew music by these young innovative Israeli composers/musicians. Original members of Haoman 18, Israeli counterpart of Radical Jewish Culture, Yaïr Harel, Nori Jacoby and Yonatan Niv – all three students of the Israeli composer André Hajdu – combine traditional music, improvisation and contemporary composition in adventurous arrangements. A new exotic and passionate music coming from the Holy Land, with Middle-Eastern percussions, string instruments and medieval vocals.
