Musical Melding: Jaffa Road with Yair Dalal

 Export to My Calendar

With electrifying onstage chemistry, Juno-nominated Jaffa Road combines original and ancient poetry sung in Hebrew, Spanish and English with pulsating dub grooves, belly dance rhythms, ambient electronic textures, and exhilarating improvisations.

Jaffa Road is joined by one of the most prolific Israeli musicians, Yair Dalal, who plays an important role in shaping the global world music scene. Dalal's Iraqi roots are embedded in his music. He creates new Middle Eastern sounds by interweaving the traditions of Iraqi and Jewish Arabic music with a range of influences originating from such diverse cultural milieus as the Balkans to India. The evocative compositions comprise a unique and colourful sound.
