Atzilut” Ensemble Brings Sound
Of
World Music To Hackettstown in April Sat., Apr. 16, 2005 /
8pm
The tradition of “World Music” has roots as deep as
music itself, from Bach’s French Suites to Paul Simon’s
“Graceland.” One of the more striking explorations into
the genre today comes from the dynamic contemporary ensemble, Atzilut,
which combines the heritage of Arab and Jewish musical traditions
in a jubilant, high–energy program of music, featuring the
sounds and rhythms of the Eastern Europe and the middle east. The
lyrical sounds of “oud,” or middle eastern lute, the
haunting notes of the “nai,” with its roots in the Pan
Flute of pre-classical Greece, the compelling rhythms of the tabla,
as well as the violin, double reeds, bass and vocals, come together
to create a vibrant musical experience that audiences have called
“magical” and “powerful.”
The eleven member ensemble Atzilute will celebrate the common
roots of Arab and Jewish musical traditions on the Centenary Stage
on Saturday, April 16 at 8 PM.
