Hip Hop Hoodíos
Dec. 31 - Montclair, NJ - First Night (New
Year�s show)

The upcoming New Year�s Eve and Jan. 3rd concerts from Latino-Jewish urban music collective Hip Hop Hood�os promise lots of booty-shaking and laughs alike. Comprised of bilingual musicians from Jewish/Latino backgrounds ("hood�o is a twist on the word "judio" - Spanish for "Jew"), the members of Hip Hop Hood�os are linked by a common love for Latin alternative music, or rock and rap "en Espanol". But don't call these guys the Jewish answer to Tenacious D or the Latino respuesta to the Beastie Boys: Hip Hop Hood�os are out to change the notions and preconceptions of Latin music entirely. Following the group�s recent standing room-only concerts at Joe�s Pub and the Brooklyn Academy of Music (as well as packed dates in Chicago and LA), Los Hoodios perform at Makor in NYC on Saturday, Jan. 3rd, and also have a special New Year�s Eve date at First Night Montclair in New Jersey.

Yofiyah (voice), Aaron Rosenbloom (tabla and frame drum), Judah Prince
(harmonium and synthesizer)

Throughout history and across cultures, chanting creates joy and dissolves stress. Ancient Kabbalists had a deep understanding of this practice. Enjoy an evening¹s journey with Yofiyah, internationally-known voice of this mystical art form and innovator of the East/West fusion: Kabbalah Kirtan. Allow the rhythmic pleasure of call and response singing to open your heart and awaken your soul. Experience the power of the Hebrew language, enveloped by a rich and evocative musical tapestry of multiple voices, harmonium and drums.

The Moshav Band
Downstairs Live!
World Cafe Live
Philadelphia, PA
Monday, March 19, 2007
Doors 6pm / Show 7:30pm

tel: 215-222-1400
Tickets: tickets.worldcafelive.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=1487

The Israeli-born Moshav Band grew up on Moshav Meor Modi'im, a musical village located in the hills between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Moshav, primarily composed of brothers Yehuda (vocals, percussion), Meir (vocals, guitar, mandolin), Yosef (bass) Solomon, and David (vocals, guitar) comes on like a family of traveling minstrels, court jesters, and the old-age mystics all at once. Their music is rich with fiery rock/folk/reggae songs, spiced with the flavors of the Middle East. The boys draw you into their own struggles, and leave you pondering your own, but not before they provide you with a huge helping of hope.

Hear them take center stage at Club Cafe for a casual evening of food, drink, and traditional klezmer music. (Young guests must be 21 and over or accompanied by legal guardian.)

Pittsburgh Jewish Music Festival presents
Klezfest '07

"Song of the Lodz Ghetto"
featuring Brave Old World
Tuesday, May 29 7:30pm
Katz Theatre, JCC of Greater Pittsburgh 5738 Forbes Ave.

Song of the Lodz Ghetto is a song cycle in which memory and imagination freely interact to create a journey between present and past. Brave Old World's new Yiddish songs and compositions are interwoven with arrangements of the rare music created between 1940-44 in the Nazi ghetto of Lodz, Poland. This is music on the cutting edge of tradition performed by the celebrated quartet of the klezmer scene. Michael Alpert is renowned for his soulful renderings in the Yiddish language. Music director Alan Bern is acclaimed for his prize-winning compositions. Clarinetist Kurt Bjorling is internationally recognized as one of the most inventive interpreters of Klezmer music. And Stuart Brotman provides multi-instrumental virtuosity. You don't have to be Jewish to love this world-class band.

TICKETS $20 general admission, $15 seniors, $10 students

Robert Wiener will present an hour-long version of his audio-video material on "Blacks and Jews in American Music" at the Asbell Center of Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA, this Sunday, October 7th, at noon. The program and bagel brunch are co-sponsored by Diversity Initiatives and the Music Department.

Music will range from spirituals, ragtime, jazz, gospel, show tunes, folk music, and popular music. Wiener will discuss how the music of American Blacks and Jews reflect the complicated relationship between these two groups. From the first part of the 20th century to WWII, from the Cold War to the present, you will hear the similarities and differences.

Choral Arts Society of Philadelphia presents:

This season's holiday concert will be more than a little unusual. Dedicated to the celebration of Hanukkah, it will combine music both old and new, taking us back to the 17th century, when the famous violinist and composer Salomone Rossi wrote the first polyphonic setting of the Shabbat Service. To complement the splendid ceremonial music of Rossi, Choral Arts has commissioned a Hanukkah Oratorio by internationally renowned composer David Ludwig. An ensemble of period instruments - recorders, baroque fiddles, sackbuts, lutes and percussion - will accompany this festive holiday concert. Bring the entire family!

Festive gypsy brass band Boban i Marko Markovic Orkestar ignites an "unbeatable Balkan dance party" (Songlines) in the Kimmel Center's Perelman Theater on Thursday, July 24, 2008 at 7:30pm.

Hailed as the greatest of Balkan trumpeters, Boban Markovic, the legendary native of Serbia's gypsy brass heartland, has led his 13-piece Orkestar to international acclaim, enhancing the traditional repertoire with elements of jazz, Latin and pop, among others. Boban and his son Marko lead the Orkestar into new directions with their trail-blazing musical mix, which the New York Times calls a ""a stunning blast of exuberance and virtuosity."

"With nods to klezmer, jazz, Latin and deep-fried funk injected into the mix, the Boban Markovic Orkestar knows where their music's been but they're hell-bent on sling-shotting it straight into the future." —Global Rhythm
