One day I started to remember all the Jewish prayers and songs my mother
used to sing on holy days. I found the real soul of my playing and
returned to my Jewish roots. (Elias Meiri)
The rhythm group's from America, the violinist from Russia, the
guitarist and pianist from Israel. Banded together they have called
themselves The Prophets and have set out on a mission into fusion - of
Jewish music and Afro-American vocal traditions. Here, traditional
Yiddish songs, translated into English, will be performed by Ric Toldon,
a "percussionist-singer" with strong Rap roots. Chances are, a surprise
singing guest will also step in to join the band on this occasion. CH
