Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz: Abraxas: The Book Of Angels Volume 19 [#8302] – DEBUT CONCERT

Fri, August 3rd, 2012, 8pm, 10pm
The Stone,
NW corner of Avenue C and 2nd St. East Village,
Manhattan, NYC
Cover: $10

Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz has been a mainstay of the downtown scene for over a decade now, working with and producing CDs by Daniel Zamir, Cyro Baptista, Eyal Maoz, Jon Madof, Yoshie Fruchter and more. Here he steps out on his own to make one of the most tribal and primal installments in the Book of Angels series. Drawing on his Sephardic roots, Shanir plays gimbri throughout, giving the music a primeval Moroccan edge. Featuring the intense guitar pyrotechnics of Eyal Maoz (Edom, 9 Volt with Time Berne, Hypercolor) and Aram Bajakian (who recently has been tearing it up in Lou Reed’s new band) and the atavistic drumming of Kenny Grohowski, this is Ritualistic Jewish Rock for the 21st century from a brilliant young lion from the East Village via Brooklyn/Israel!

Featuring:
Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz: Gimbri
Eyal Maoz: Guitar
Aram Bajakian: Guitar
Kenny Grohowski: Drums
