Guy Mendilow Band

May 8th, 2010, AM
Club Passim
47 Palmer St.
Harvard Square
Cambridge, MA
Children's Concert

Blurring boundaries and connecting sounds, syncopations, rhythms and roots is central to the mission inspiring the Guy Mendilow Band. Israeli peace songs and Sephardi canticas meet Bahian street beats and blues. Drawing from a life lived in Israel, South Africa and Brazil, where musical collaboration cuts through ancient conflict, Israeli born musician Guy Mendilow is sowing the seeds of peace with music.

It's no surprise, then, that the Guy Mendilow Band includes world class musicians from Israel, Argentina, Japan and the United States. Or to find the group now partnering with international peacemaking organizations, such as Seeds of Peace, whose work with Palestinian and Israeli youth and adult educators helps forge the personal relationships so critical to communication and reconciliation.

Songs of Imagined Migrations: The Guy Mendilow Band's Ladino Project

May 8th, 2011, 8:00pm

Club Passim
47 Palmer St.
Harvard Square
Cambridge, MA

The Guy Mendilow Band performs centuries-old music from Jewish communities from places such as Smyrna, Salonica, Jerusalem and Sarajevo, sung in the Judeo-Spanish Ladino. Stories of sailors seduced by sirens at sea, murder, intrigue, fantastic dreams and the treachery of kings and queens abound in these colourful canticas. Led by Israeli performer Guy Mendilow, the group makes this ancient music relevant to modern audiences by recasting it through the multicultural lens drawn from the places Mendilow and his musicians have called home, from Israel and Brazil to the United States. The result is a dynamic blend of Sephardi tempered with Brazilian street beats and blues in vibrant musical storytelling awash with warm vocal harmonies, intricate textures and spellbinding rhythms.

"This isn't for quirky ears, it's for jaded ears that need to be shaken awake with something substantially different that keeps the interest on the beam throughout. Delightfully different, even when it seems like it might be familiar." —Midwest Record

The Nightmares of Children

I [Jeremiah Lockwood] originally imagined The Nightmares of Childern as being a kind of walk-in closet...a place you could enter to be completely submerged in the fairy tale horror and surreptitious pleasure of morbid childhood fantasy. Eventually I dropped the project because it was too disturbing...

I am pleased to be presenting a small part of the project in the form of a song cycle, featuring brand new arrangements of the pieces for voice, cello and piano. The first rehearsal with Aneke Schaul Yoder, cello, and Derin Öge, piano, was really stunning. I hope to be able to share this newly excavated and resucitated project with you all tonight!

Friday, May 18 7PM
Flea Theater
-- in Tribeca at 41 White Street (between Broadway & Church Streets)—accessible from the A/C/E, N/R/Q, 6, J/M/Z to Canal Street or the 1 to Franklin Street.

Yankele
Musique klezmer
Incontournable rendez-vous du Comptoir, c'est un peu comme retrouver de vieux amis, la musique est la même, proche, familière et pourtant gorgée de nouvelles saveurs.
C'est le génie de la musique klezmer, immédiatement reconnaissable. Effluves de l'est, imprégnée de l'âme des poètes yiddish, inlassablement jouée aux mariages et fêtes, échappée des shteyt'l pour suivre des routes improbables où les senteurs se mêlent. Elles se gorgent des parfums des Balkans, de Paris, de New-York et Yankele, « Petit Jean » à cinq têtes, marche depuis 10 ans, besace emplie de trésors étincelants et mutins !
Musiciens virtuoses et généreux, ils « vivent » les mélodies traditionnelles au travers des compositions, d’arrangements originaux et d’improvisations sur le fil de leur formation classique, contemporaine et jazzistique.

Welcome remarks by the Consul General of Italy Francesco M. Talò and the Representative for International Affairs of the Jewish Community of Rome Giacomo Moscati. Introduction by Francesco Spagnolo, Francesco Spagnolo, PhD, University of California, Berkeley

For the first time in the US, the Choir of the "Tempio Maggiore" conducted by the renowned tenor Claudio Disegni and featuring the hazan of Rome, Alberto Funaro, and organist Federico del Sordo, will expose the New York public to the unique flavors and variations of the liturgical tradition of the Jews of Rome.

CONCERT / CONCERT

Avec Lloica Czackis et Sorin Gheraliu
with Lloica Czackis and Sorin Gheraliu

Dimanche 22 mai à 19h00 / Sunday, May 22, 7.00 p.m.

à la Maison de la culture yiddish - Bibliothèque Medem
29, rue du Château d'Eau 75010 Paris

La musique du peuple juif reflète son mouvement perpétuel d’un pays à un autre, d’une culture à une autre, des langues, des expressions diverses...
La rencontre de Lloica Czackis et de Sorin Gheraliu est celle d’une chanteuse de la chanson yiddish, héritière d’une vie nomade dans sept pays, et d’un cymbaliste tsigane de la Roumanie issu d’une famille de grands musiciens de Balkans.
Cette rencontre est également un lointain souvenir de klezmorim juifs et tsiganes qui jouaient ensemble pour les autres, mais aussi pour eux-mêmes, dans un monde de l’Europe de l’est qui n’existe plus.

Leur langue commune est la musique. Leur musique parle plusieurs langues.

Depuis cinq ans, Lloica, accompagnée parfois de Sorin, anime musicalement les voyages culturels juifs organisés par Valiske.
Si vous avez participé à leurs voyages, venez au spectacle revivre l ’émotion musicale d’autrefois, si vous n’avez pas voyagé avec Valiske, venez pour un départ musical vers l’Espagne médiévale, la Pampa juive, les cabarets de Varsovie et New York des années 1920, vers la Russie... Leur programme inclut de magnifiques poèmes chantés en judéo-espagnol, de chansons pour des enfants de colonies agricoles juives en Argentine, du jazz newyorkais en yiddish, de chansons d’amour en hébreu, de la musique classique en français...

The music of the Jewish people reflects a perpetual motion from one country to another, one culture to another, various languages and modes of expression.

The stage shared by Lloica Czackis and Sorin Gheraliu is an encounter between a singer of Yiddish songs, with a nomad's heritage through seven countries and a Gypsy cymbalist from Rumania, descendent of a family of great Balkan musicians. It also recalls the distant memory of Jewish and Gypsy klezmorim who once played together in a world of Eastern Europe that no longer exists.

Their common language is music. Their music speaks various languages.

For the past five years, Lloica, sometimes accompanied by Sorin, have provided musical entertainment for Jewish cultural tours organized by Valiske.

If you have taken part in their trips, come and relive the past emotion. If you have never traveled with Valiske, come and discover a musical journey through medieval Spain, the Jewish pampas, the cabarets of Warsaw and New York in the 1920s, to far off Russia... Their program includes poems sung in Judeo-Spanish ("Ladino"), children's songs from the Jewish farming colonies of Argentina, New York jazz in Yiddish, as well as love songs in French and Hebrew.

P. A. F. / Admission : 15 €. Membres / Members : 12 €.

Panacea - Concert/dance

Music of Europe East, West, North, South
Thursday, May 24. 9:00 pm
Subterranean Art House 2179 Bancroft Avenue, Berkeley 9pm (doors open 8:30) $10-$15.

For years, they have played music from the five corners of Europe and beyond. Their performances are rare and very good.

Panacea plays a delightful East European and Roma-Balkan dance mix, with group vocals. The all-star ensemble takes on impossibly challenging Eastern European rhythms, the kind that drive dancers to ecstasy. Acclaimed accordionist Nada Lewis is joined by hammered dulcimer player Robin Petrie (from such bands as Carnahan and Petrie, and Party of Seven), Shira Kammen (founder of Ensemble Alcatraz and music director of the Revels) on violin, top middle east percussionist Mark Bell (Helm), and vocalist Bon Singer (a founder of Kitka).

Yankele
Musique klezmer
Incontournable rendez-vous du Comptoir, c'est un peu comme retrouver de vieux amis, la musique est la même, proche, familière et pourtant gorgée de nouvelles saveurs.
C'est le génie de la musique klezmer, immédiatement reconnaissable. Effluves de l'est, imprégnée de l'âme des poètes yiddish, inlassablement jouée aux mariages et fêtes, échappée des shteyt'l pour suivre des routes improbables où les senteurs se mêlent. Elles se gorgent des parfums des Balkans, de Paris, de New-York et Yankele, « Petit Jean » à cinq têtes, marche depuis 10 ans, besace emplie de trésors étincelants et mutins !
Musiciens virtuoses et généreux, ils « vivent » les mélodies traditionnelles au travers des compositions, d'arrangements originaux et d'improvisations sur le fil de leur formation classique, contemporaine et jazzistique.

Tzadik Radical Jewish Culture Festival
A celebration of avant-garde and experimental Jewish music
May 23 - June 29

The Sixth Street Community Synagogue and John Zorn's Tzadik Records present six concerts by some of the best and brightest musicians on New York's Downtown Jewish Music scene.

Rashanim Unplugged - May 25, 9:30pm
Sixth Street Synagogue
325 E. Sixth Street
New York, NY 10003

Rashanim is an instrumental trio on John Zorn’s Tzadik Records, combining the power of rock with the spontaneity of improvisation, deep Middle Eastern grooves, and mystical Jewish melodies. The self-proclaimed 'Jewish Power Trio' is led by Jon Madof on guitar, with Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz on bass and Mathias Künzli on drums and percussion. The band gets its name from the noisemakers used during the raucous Jewish holiday of Purim.

In 2009 Rashanim released the all-acoustic 'The Gathering,' journeying far beyond their usual electric setting into a world of banjos, exotic percussion, and ethereal voices. Rashanim's concert at the Tzadik Radical Jewish Culture Festival will feature music from this repertoire.
