Tinges of reggae, worldbeat, folk, and hip-hop infuse Chana Rothman’s Hebrew-English tunes with rhythm and positive vibes. After trekking the Himalayas with a guitar strapped to her back, Chana settled in Brooklyn and began writing songs that reflected her mountain-turned-urban polyethnic lifestyle. Her debut album, “We Can Rise,” (Oyhoo Records) was voted “Best Album of 2007” by jewschool.com and she was featured in “Top 5 Women Who Rock” by American Jewish Life Magazine. She plays reguarly in New York—The Highline Ballroom, Knitting Factory—and tours throughout North America, Europe, and Israel. Chana recently performed with Israeli sensations HaBanot Nechama & HaDag Nachash.
