Rashanim is a trio of guitar, bass and drums/percussion combining the power of rock with the spontaneity of improvisation, deep Middle Eastern grooves, and mystical Jewish melodies. The 'Jewish power trio' is led by Jon Madof on guitar and includes Mathias Künzli (Lauryn Hill) on drums and percussion and special guest Yoshie Fruchter (Pitom, Soulfarm) on bass. The band gets its name from the noisemakers used during the raucous Jewish holiday of Purim.
