Darshan Jazz Rabbi's Invitational

Thursday, Feb 2 at 08:30 PM
7:30 PM Lecture with Rabbi Menachem Leibtag
8:30 PM Darshan Concert
Sixth Street Synagogue
325 E. Sixth Street
New York, NY 10003
212.473.3665

Darshan is astral rap, liturgical jazz, audio alchemy. Harmonizing Hebrew chant with hiphop, folk rock with electro-pop, love poetry with kabbalistic psychology, Darshan is a unique and organic weave of world wisdom traditions and modern musical styles.
Shir Yaakov is a Master of Melody who has given birth to hauntingly beautiful liturgical chants, used in havurot and synagogues around the world.

Eprhyme is a Radical Jewish Rennaissance Rapper.

Together, as Darshan, these two combine and connect to create something that is altogether new, and at the same time ancient. Deep and probing rhymes blend with evocative and uplifting melodies in "an uncompromising blend of urban forms and neo-Hasidic spirituality." — The Forward.

admission: $10 at the door

The concert will be preceded by a guest lecture on "Torah and Creativity" by Rabbi Menachem Leibtag, an internationally acclaimed bible scholar and pioneer of Jewish Education on the internet, is well known in the Jewish community for his essays on the weekly Bible portion. His vibrant thematic-analytical approach blends the methods of modern academic scholarship with traditional Jewish approaches to the Biblical text. He is best known for his ability to teach students how to study rather than simply read Biblical passages. As his essays focus on meta-themes in the Bible, his readership has expanded to students of the Bible from all religions and walks of life.

In Israel, Rabbi Leibtag teaches at Yeshivat Har Etzion, Yeshivat Shaalavim, Midreshet Lindenbaum, and at Yeshiva University's Gruss Center.

Beats to Break Fast

October 10, 2011, 8pm
Martyrs,
3855 N. Lincoln
Chicago, IL

Armed with his Akai MPC, heritage and love for genre-bending music, Socalled, aka Josh Dolgin, is a Yiddish rapping, accordion wielding hip-hop maestro. Heralded by Klezmer and hip hop musicians alike, he builds Jewish music from the bottom-up. Previous albums Hiphopkhasene (Piranha), Socalled Seder (2005, JDUB), Ghettoblaster (2007, JDUB ) and now Sleepover (2011, Dare to Care) reached into the past to mine an amalgamation of traditional and contemporary influences.

Balkan Beat Box & Pad Brapad

Dec 9, 2010, 19h00
Ce concert a lieu à la Bellevillouse, 21 rue Boyer 75020 Paris
Tarif unique: 26€

Balkan Beat Box par du style klezmer et lui administre une bonne dose d'électro. Ori Kaplan (saxophone) forme le groupe en 2004 à New York, Balkan Beat Box est remarqué dès sa sortie en 2005. Il faut dire que la fusion de Balkan Beat Box sait intégrer des éléments multiples, pour en faire une musique dansante, joyeuse et originale. Blue Eyed Back Boy sort en mars 2010 pour que l'aventure continue et que la fusion soit belle.

C'est sur scène que leur musique prend toute son ampleur. Les musiciens se livrent à 300%, hurlent, dansent, parlent des langues inconnues, se battent en duel. Pad Brapad allie l'énergie de l'Est aux beats de l'Ouest pour une ambiance chaude et festive... Un livre volcanique qui vous emmène loin!

Le Festival Jazz'N'Klezmer 2010 est soutenu par Tradexpo

NEW YORK, NY – On Wednesday, November 11, 2009, Jewish and Muslim artists from the Tug of War Tour and Shemspeed will come together at New York’s SOBs at the Hip Hop Sulha. Performers include Israeli and Iranian rap duo Most Hated, DeScribe, spoken word artist Tahani Salah, beat boxer J. Stone, Dash Speaks, TJ Di Hitmaker, NSR and a special DJ set by Electro Morocco.

Founded by American-Israeli producer, Diwon, The Hip Hop Sulha reinvents the concept of the traditional Arab sulha (reconciliation) by bringing leading Jewish and Muslim hip-hop musicians together to celebrate peace and religious tolerance via the performing arts. In the past, the series has hosted Hadag Nachash, Saz, Sagol 59, and DJ Spooky to name a few. This evening will feature Chassidic Hip Hop, Reggae, and R&B, artist, DeScribe, Jamaican Dancehall artist, TJ Di Hitmaker, and NYC-based Israeli expatriates, Electro Morocco.

The Tug of War Tour is a thought-provoking and multi-dimensional artistic endeavor that explores narratives of conflict and co-existence between Muslims and Jews. The brainchild of Israeli-American M.C. Sneakas and M.C. Serch (of Third Bass fame and VH1’s White Rapper Show), the tour features the controversial rap group ‘Most Hated’ (consisting of Sneakas and Muslim-Iranian rapper Mazzi), in addition to spoken word poets Vanessa Hidary and Tahani Salah (both of whom have been featured on HBO’s Def Poetry Jam).

Be a part of this unique opportunity to see Muslim and Jewish creativity together on one stage on Wednesday, November 11th at SOBs - 204 Varick Street. Doors open at 8pm; tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door. Stay for the after-party with Diwon spinning.

The Washington Jewish Music Festival - 6/4-6/11

Miri Ben-Ari: The Hip-Hop Violinist
Aaron & Cecile Goldman Theater, Washington DCJCC
1529 16th Street NW
Washington, DC 20036
June 11, 8:00 pm
Followed by a Closing Night Party

Miri Ben-Ari, a Grammy award-winning violinist from Israel, has created her own unique sound by a revolutionary fusion of classical style with jazz, R&B and hip hop. She has been recognized as a musical pioneer. This classically trained musician has helped sell millions of records by collaborating with other Grammy award-winning artists such as Kanye West, Jay Z, Wyclef Jean, Alicia Keys, Wynton Marsalis, Britney Spears, Maroon 5, Donna Summer, Janet Jackson and John Legend among others.

She studied under the late classical master Isaac Stern and has earned the honor from New York's Apollo Theater as an “Apollo Legend.” She is known as “The Hip Hop Violinist,” the title of her latest album on Universal Records.

Miri Ben-Ari was honored as one of Jewish Women International's "Women To Watch" in 2007. She received the 2008 Israel Film Festival Visionary Award, and she is the first Israeli to receive the Martin Luther King Award from Israeli President, Shimon Peres.

Miri Ben-Ari is the CEO and co-founder of Gedenk ("Remember"), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness among young people about the Holocaust.

The Washington Jewish Music Festival - 6/4-6/11

Electro Morocco and DJ Balagan
Station 9
1438 U Street NW
June 10, 8:00 pm

Electro Morocco is a unique mixture of intricate electro beats and Middle Eastern flavor, with a retro rock and pop edge. Thriving from the pulse of music born in the Middle East, their sound rises, swells and cuts to the core with a dense recipe of swirling otherworldly sound, the powerful persistence of electro-rock rhythm and stiletto-sharp guitar lines. Electro Morocco delivers soul-stomping performances all synced to self-produced video clips. Seasoned musicians Assaf Spector, Roy Gurel, Shlomie Lavie, Taylor Galassi and Yula Beeri mix everything from retro rock to Middle Eastern folk music, to warped electro in a fierce, high-energy performance.

DJ Balagan a.k.a. Sam Hopkins, has been producing his own sample-based dance tracks since 2003, incorporating Sephardic elements among various other ethnic styles.

“The off-beat rhythm, the interplay of tweaked, Oriental-sounding guitars, and the frenzied climaxes call to mind bellydancing music and hard rock.”
—Nextbook.org

Presented in partnership with the 16th Street J’s J-on-Demand program for 21-35 year olds
Community Partner: Shemspeed

Estelle Goldfarb et Dj Click
électro-klezmer-oriental
Violoniste à l'énergie rock, Estelle Goldfarb allie fougue, mélancolie slave et sensualité orientale. Elle a multiplié les collaborations avec SoCalled, Matisyahu, David Krakauer... Elle entame aujourd'hui une collaboration avec DJ ClicK, Le chineur de sons traditionnels venus des Balkans et des quatre coins du monde.

Manguina
mélodies judéo-espagnol
Manguina signifie mélodie en hébreu. On y retrouve toute la fougue des rythmes klezmer et la nostalgie des mélodies yiddish qui font revivre un monde perdu.
Par leurs compositions tendance jazz, et les chants qu'ils interprètent en judéo- espagnol, ils donnent à ce grand voyage musical du " yiddishland au sefarland ", des accents originaux.

Centre D'art et de Culture - Espace RACHI présente

6ème Festival JAZZ'N'KLEZMER
Du 23 Octobre au 2 décembre 2007
Espace Rachi . Divan du Monde . Café de la danse

Mardi 23 Octobre au Divan du monde 20h30
SoCalled
hip hop yiddish
SoCalled est le fondateur du hip hop klezmer. Ce nouveau style mélange l'esprit Yiddish, le rap, le jazz, l'électro, la funk et le rock. Agitateur patenté, " l'échantilloneur " Josh Dolgin souffle un courant d'air frais sur la musique juive. Avec sa manière innée de plaquer un chant traditionnel hassidique sur un breakbeat old school, SoCalled emporte le morceau. Le résultat est dansant, décoiffant, déroutant.

Les concerts des 23/10 ET 11/11 sont des coproductions Label JuMu, Nu Juwish Music / Espace Rachi

Boom Pam come to the Museum of Fine Arts on Wednesday 27th June at 7.30pm. Boom Pam first hit the music scene in Tel Aviv in 2004 with their cover of Aris San's 1969 hit "Boom Pam".

Boom Pam's original music and arrangements of Balkan, Jewish, Greek and Mediterranean songs, seasoned with dueling guitars and a rock attitude.

With this uplifting combination of music, Boom Pam is a band that shouldn't be missed. Members, seniors, students $20; nonmembers, general admission $25. For more information, and to book tickets, call the Remis Auditorium Box Office (voice) 617-369-3306, (TTY) 617-369-3393 or visit www.mfa.org/concerts.

JuMu présente
(en accord avec Run Productions)

En concert unique a Paris
Sophie Solomon (Londres) + SoCalled (Canada)
L'avenir de la musique Klezmer

Inevitable rencontre parisienne a l'initiative de JuMu entre notre DJ Canadien national, SoCalled (aka Josh Dolgin), et la tres charismatique Sophie Solomon, violoniste britannique qui s'est illustree notamment au sein des Oi Va Oi, groupe electro londonien. Ces deux personnages, au centre de la nouvelle scene klezmer, n'ont jamais hesite a derouter leurs auditeurs en incorporant a la base de leur univers musical des elements exterieurs afin d'explorer de nouvelles marges. SoCalled, en collectionneur avise, mixe depuis toujours des vieux disques klezmer avec du hip hop et de l'electro mais ne laisse jamais son piano et son accordeon seuls trop longtemps, tandis que Sophie Solomon multiplie les projets les plus improbables sans se preoccuper des etiquettes, a coup de melange de sonorites russes, tziganes ou proche-orientales, sa virtuosite prenant toute sa dimension dans ces melodies tantot lancinantes, tantot enjouees mais toujours d'une grande dignité typique de la musique juive d'Europe de l'Est.

Further evidence that Latin hip-hop knows no cultural boundaries, Latino-Jewish urban music collective Hip Hop Hoodios will be performing at the Salute to Israel Parade in New York City along Fifth Avenue on Sunday, June 5th. The annual parade is a non-partisan, non-political celebration of the existence of the State of Israel and a tribute to its people and their achievements. One-hundred thousand marchers and close to one-million spectators take part in this event annually. This year marks the first time that a prominent Latin act has been booked to perform at the Parade. Hip Hop Hoodios are currently touring in support of their critically-acclaimed full length debut "Agua Pa' La Gente", which includes members of The Klezmatics, Santana, Midnight Minyan and Jaguares as guests.

The Parade route begins at 57th Street and Fifth Avenue and continues north on Fifth Avenue to 79th Street.

The Parade takes place each year, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM Rain or Shine.

The upcoming New Year�s Eve and Jan. 3rd concerts from Latino-Jewish urban music collective Hip Hop Hood�os promise lots of booty-shaking and laughs alike. Comprised of bilingual musicians from Jewish/Latino backgrounds ("hood�o is a twist on the word "judio" - Spanish for "Jew"), the members of Hip Hop Hood�os are linked by a common love for Latin alternative music, or rock and rap "en Espanol". But don't call these guys the Jewish answer to Tenacious D or the Latino respuesta to the Beastie Boys: Hip Hop Hood�os are out to change the notions and preconceptions of Latin music entirely. Following the group�s recent standing room-only concerts at Joe�s Pub and the Brooklyn Academy of Music (as well as packed dates in Chicago and LA), Los Hoodios perform at Makor in NYC on Saturday, Jan. 3rd, and also have a special New Year�s Eve date at First Night Montclair in New Jersey.
