Posted: Fri Feb 04, 2005 7:16 amHello everyone,
Just want to announce that I'm having my yearly concert in Beit Gertrude, a concert hall in En Hod, Israel, usually reserved for classical concerts. If you're in Israel, do try to make it.
I'll be joined by the amazing Arabian violinist, Amin, from Jaffa. We've performed together in the past and things could get pretty wild, great musical chemistry (we're both "stage tigers" as someone recently said).
Also there will be Yossi Cohen, a virtuoso guitarist and jumbush player (jumbush is something like a Middle Eastern banjo, probably originating in Turkey). Also will be Gili HaMeiri, a master zarb player (zarb is something like a Persian wooden darbuka, played mainly in Iran and the northern Mid East). Boaz Nikritin will be joining on flute and bansoor, and I will be playing dahola (bass darbuka), cajon and bongos (not all at once).
We have all performed as a quintet in festivals before and look forward to this concert. It will be mainly improvisation in a Mid Eastern realm...
I'm not the promoter, sorry for the late notice, but I hope and expect for the house to be packed even more than in years past. If you are not in Israel and don't have a lier jet to get here by tomorrow, I'll try to have the show recorded and available for listening in the future.
Wish me luck! Thanks so much.
