Jewish Museum To Host Idan Raichel Concerts

Posted August 31st, 2007 by ruzik_tuzik

Join dynamic Israeli artist Idan Raichel for his very first series of intimate acoustic concerts in New York. Idan, who was last seen in New York when he was featured in Central Park’s popular 2007 Summerstage series, blends the unique sounds of Israel’s cultural tradition with styles from around the world for a sound that Billboard Magazine calls a “multiethnic tour de force.”

Showcasing new and old musical partnerships, Idan and guest artists will celebrate the universal language of music.

The concerts, which are part of the Daniel Pearl Music Days, will take place at the Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust on October 8, 9, and 10 at 7 p.m.

The New York Times has named Idan Raichel’s music collective, The Idan Raichel Project, one of 2007’s best world music albums; the debut CD went multiplatinum in Israel, receiving Best Single, Artist of the Year, and Best Album awards.

Idan Raichel will be joined by: Colombian singer/songwriter Marta Gómez, New African Jazz and Soul artist Somi, Ethiopian Israeli singer Cabra Casay, and percussion master Itamar Doari.

These concerts are part of the Daniel Pearl Music Days, and are presented in conjunction with the Holocaust and United Nations Outreach Program, established to raise awareness of the Holocaust and to help prevent genocide. Cosponsored by Israel at Heart. -- www.mjhnyc.org
