members, seniors, and students $20; nonmembers $25
Habrera Hativeet's very formation in 1977 was a bold experiment in diversity that
fused together artists with authentic Sephardic, African, Indian and Middle Eastern
roots, time-honored songs from Andalusian Spain, Yemen, and Morocco, Hasidic chants
from Eastern Europe, and contemporary Israeli poetry. Twenty-nine years later,
"The Natural Gathering" still possesses a seemingly bottomless reservoir of
uncompromising energy, creativity, and love, their music a foundation of bridges
across time, cultures and mindsets in Israel and beyond.
undescribed performance, Cambridge, MA, Jun 18
I would like to invite all of you to a performance I have put together that will take place at CasaNia (in Cambridge)on Sunday, June 18 at 4 p.m., lasting about an hour. I know some of you will be attending the Israel celebration in downtown Boston and have moved the time of the performance to enable you to come. You can see more about the performance as well as directions and reservation information by clicking here.
I am very excited about this opportunity to collaborate with some wonderfully talented artists and so much hope you will be able to make it.
All the best,
