Charming Hostess, San Francisco, CA, 2 Jul 2013

imageCharming Hostess

Excited to open for Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino one of Italy’s leading traditional music ensembles, hailing from the Salento, the heel of the Italian boot. This seven-piece band draws from the ancient ritual of pizzica tarantata, said to cure the taranta spider’s bite with its frenzied trance. Tarantism, the cultural phenomenon of trance and possessions, has endured to the present day in Salento. We will be playing mostly Italian anarchist songs with a little bit of Leone Ginzburg in there for fun. Dance, get sweaty and trance out!

Monshe Bonen, City Winery Brunch, NYC, 21 July 2013

Every Sunday Morning, combining live music and food in a fresh, cultural environment, City Winery's Klezmer brunch series pairs some of the greatest musicians in the world with delicious lox, bagels and other tasty fare on Sunday mornings from 11am to 2pm. City Winery's brunch on July 21, 2013 features Moshe Bonen & HaTaklitim.

General Admission: $10 / Children Under 13 - Free
City Winery
155 Varick Street
New York, New York 10013
(212) 608-0555

Warm, richly textured, and wholly heartfelt, HaTaklitim is the hot new caramel dessert of classic Israeli cover music of the 70's, 80's, and 90's.

Led by the sensitive and talented Moshe Bonen, HaTaklitim transports the audience to simpler times, before spotify and wifi, when music was played on a hi-fi stereo and the songs told real stories. Moshe opens his heart, and his vast knowledge base from his Galatz and Galgalatz radio days, and each show comes to life with anecdotes, fun Hebrew music trivia, and of course superb sound.

HaTaklitim features a talented group of Israeli musicians: Ziv Shalev on Guitar, Ofer Levy on Drums, David Segal on Bass, Shy Florence on keyboard, and Mika Hary's beautiful vocals.

One of the most talked-about artists at the 2012 Ashkenaz Festival, Israel's Shye Ben Tzur returns to Toronto as part of a coast-to-coast North American summer tour. Having studied Indian classical music for over a decade, and immersed himself in Muslim Qawwali music, Shye Ben Tzur has fashioned a wholly unique fusion of Hebrew and Middle Eastern musical influences with those of the Indian sub-continent. Working with a cross-cultural ensemble of Rajasthani-Indian and Israeli musicians, his music transcends the seemingly quirky juxtapositions at its core: devotional Qawwali music with Hebrew poetry, Indian classical vocals with spanish guitar, funky bass with pulsating tabla. This not-to-be-missed event will be one of Toronto's top summer's concerts, featuring a colourful ensemble, deep grooves and soulful improvisation in an awe-inspiring show.

A Hands-On Introduction to Klezmer Instrumental Music, Yiddish Song, and Dance

With Deborah Strauss, Jeff Warschauer

Weimar, Germany, part of "Yiddish Summer Weimar"

Whether you have some experience as a klezmer player, Yiddish singer or dancer, or are completely new to the style, this hands-on workshop offers a feast of Eastern European Yiddish instrumental, vocal music and dance.

This workshop will be taught with a lively, integrated approach—a marriage of instruments, singing and movement. Working by ear and with written music, we will explore ways to express the full potential of Yiddish music and dance, as individuals and as a group. Daily topics will include Eastern European Jewish modality, klezmer phrasing, articulation and ornamentation, Yiddish song repertoire and style, and Yiddish dance steps, gestures and movement.

Open to all instrumentalists, singers and dancers. All ages and backgrounds
welcome. No knowledge of Yiddish or previous experience necessary.
