Kol Rina:
Close harmonies, thrilling invention and an infectious sense of fun
are the hallmarks of Kol Rina, the UK's only mixed-voice Jewish a
capella group. Influenced by anything from chassidic to gospel to pop,
the compositions by its members have energised passages from
traditional Jewish prayers. Kol Rina, meaning "voice of joy", released
their first album "Ashira" in 2003 - and performed to rapturous
audiences at events nationwide, including Limmud and Jewish Book Week.
Find out why this 12-person ensemble—whose music is at turns
stirring and rollicking—is one of the hottest acts in British
Jewry's cultural revival.
Nomadica:
Nomadica is a fusion of spine-tingling klezmer melodies with spicy Indian
and Middle Eastern rhythms pulled together with a jazzy finish. Nomadica
will transport you around Jewish Eastern Europe, adding a 21st century
twist to the melodies of our ancestors. From a Jewish tango to a Bulgarian tune
in 7/8 time, jazzformed Yiddish folk songs, and even a traditional Irish
inspired piece, Nomadica will keep you transfixed and enthralled. With a
lineup that includes the Indian tabla, Nomadica have opened ears to the
possibilities of Klezmer Fusion and have been warmly received by audiences
at the Spitz, Limmud and the V&A.
