BOSTON JEWISH MUSIC FESTIVAL This event occurs in the past, March 10 2011
Somerville Theatre
55 Davis Square, Somerville, MA
Continuing to prove that “Jewish music” might not be exactly what you think it is, the second annual Boston Jewish Music Festival brings in Yemen Blues. The brainchild of former Idan Raichel lead singer Ravid Kahalani, the band mix the folkloric rhythms of Israeli Kahalani’s Yemenite roots with American jazz and blues, a swinging horn section, folky fiddles, driving percussion, and plenty of grit in the grooves.
