Avenir de la musique klezmer w/Golem, Paris, France, 22 Mai, 2012

L’AVENIR DE LA MUSIQUE KLEZMER

7/9 rue des Petites Ecuries 75010 PARIS
Fnac, Digitick, BilletRéduc

L’ARTICHAUT ORKESTRA (Toulouse)

Brillant quatuor toulousain instigué par le clarinettiste Camille Artichaut (disciple talentueux de David Krakauer) et par l'accordéoniste Pierre-Emmanuel Roubet. Tout commence par une compilation de thèmes Yiddish-Klezmer des années 30 qui s'impose comme une source d'un avenir
musical à créer. Depuis cet héritage de hasard, les projets pleuvent pour les jeunes artistes : d'écoles de jazz (Music-Halle à Toulouse où ils rencontrent Frédéric Petitprez), en excellence ("Voix Mêlées", premiers contacts avec Sébastien Rideau), de rencontres de maîtres (Camille Artichaut suit David Krakauer à New York où Frédéric Petitprez accompagne Leon Parker), en tournées françaises (celles de Magyd Cherfi chanteur de Zebda) et Music Hall (Camille Artichaut joue sur le spectacle "Cabaret" de Sam Mendes aux Folies Bergères à Paris).

Voici donc quatre musiciens déterminés à faire vivre une création ancrée dans l'esprit de ces mélopées intemporelles. Leur goût pour cette musique ne peut que résider dans la mixité extrême qui à été fatalement imposée à cette culture. Depuis 3 ans l'Artichaut Orkestra a joué dans de multiples festivals (31 notes d'été, Marciac...), clubs (Mandala, Triton, Délirium) et théâtres (Limoges, Toulouse, Paris...).

Line Up
Camille Artichaut – clarinette

Sephardic Music Festival Teaser with SHI 360, BRODY & DIWON

May 24th, 10pm
Tammany Hall
152 Orchard Street New York, NY 10002
Cost $10 Advance / $12 Door

Note: This event is part of the Sephardic Music Festival Summer Teaser.
Israel’s SHI 360 is anything but your typical hip hop artist. With the credo “Don’t be afraid to think,” SHI 360 combines deft rhymes and fresh, genre-shifting beats with bold social and political messages that spread harmony and peace worldwide. His newest album, “Shalom Haters” which premiered on Vibe Magazine’s All Hip Hop, arrives on the global hip hop scene at a time when the media has been astoundingly silent in response to recent rocket attacks on Israeli civilians.
We are about to get schooled while partying with one of Israel’s top rappers. This party will be the only NYC appearance from this Israeli artist who will be joined by Brody, an Israeli/American singer who bridges the worlds of soul, hip-hop, electronic and world music, fresh off his remixes of Stephen Marley, Eminem and Inna.
SHI 360 & Brody will be joined by Diwon who has been highlighted on MTV for his blend of hip hop and dancehall. Diwon will spin into the night with his signature mix of Israeli, Sephardic, Yemenite and ghetto US club remixes!

As a spectacular finale to the 2012 Festival, Mameloshen will bring to life excerpts from Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish. After several years of planning and discussion, the stories of Sholem Aleichem that went on to become one of the most successful Broadway musicals ever, will come to life in Yiddish.

Fiddler On The Roof has been done in Japanese, Hebrew and perhaps Spanish, but this is the first time in Western Canada (perhaps even the first time in Canada) that will be performed in Yiddish. The show with its all-Winnipeg cast will feature excerpts from the musical. Local talent for Fiddler on the Roof include Jill Brandes, Miriam Bronstein, Doreen Brownstone, Jerry Cohen, Shayla Fink, Debbie Maslowsky, Mal Magorel Justin Odwak, Bonnie Robinson and Perry Rubenfeld. Under the leadership of producer Kinsey Posen, a full artistic team is being assembled. Lyrics will be projected on a screen in English to allow everyone to enjoy this amazing venture into musical theatre.

Ljuba Davis Ladino Ensemble, NYC, 15 Jun, 2012

After many years of singing lush Ladino melodies, Ljuba Davis finally preserves her music in a timeless album, East and West (6/12/12). The Ljuba Davis Ladino Ensemble present their songs with little tugs of musical dominance, which differs from what most would envision as the typical Judaeo-Spanish style.

Led by bouzuki master, Avram Pengas, Davis' ensemble is made up of some of New York’s top Greek, Arab, and Jewish musicians. Their lush Middle-Eastern melodies beautifully compliment Davis' joyous, yet dynamic, voice with an acoustic richness. They will be performing at DROM in New York City on June 15th, 8pm.
