Sam Glaser, Rebbesoul
It was b'shert for Jewish music veterans Sam Glaser and RebbeSoul (Bruce Burger) to join together in this "nigun project", a CD collaboration that was over a year in the making! They take the traditional Jewish wordless song to new heights with 19 singably contagious reggae-klezmer-worldbeat arrangements of nigunim, new (many of which are Sam's creations!) and ancient. This recording, with over seventy-four minutes of music lovingly produced and arranged with their ten piece Nigun Unlimited Orchestra, also features guest vocal performances by members of Moshav Band, Blue Fringe, Soul Farm, Gershon Veroba, Six13, B'samim, Kol Zimra and Beatachon. Selections include: Aliyah, If You Believe, Melawach, Ob La Nigun, M'nucha V'simcha, Bar Yochai, David Melech Yisrael, Nigun Hachayal, L'chayim Nigun, Mizmor L'david, 2000 Year Old Nigun, Meshuganigun, Levaya, T'shuva Nigun, Abracadabra, Al Tira, Kislev, Hertzeliya Hoedown, and Daled Bavot. The twin souls of Sam and Bruce have met, intertwined, and made beautiful music together!
From joyous to contemplative, these nigunim update the tradition with klezmer and reggae overtones. |
