A fascinating album that enlightens a little known, beautiful Italian Jewish music tradition and includes a selection of hymns and prayers in Hebrew. The modern arrangements of these songs, originally sang without musical accompaniment, introduce elements of different musical genres ranging from classical through jazz to popular music and creating a very special and seducing "sound-appeal".

Guests:

Orazio Corsaro - Accordion Sicilian Bagpipe Abate Berihun - Saxophones (Soprano, Tenor) Abe Doron - Percussions Assaf Hakimi - Double bass Mynah Marie - Accordion (tracks 2 and 7).
