Shye Ben-Tzur’s musical journey unfolds between India and Israel, Western culture and Sufism, combining traditional qawwali singing, Jewish piyyut, and Sufi music to form a new language, with which he expresses his internal and external musical worlds.
His latest album, Junun, created in collaboration with Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) and produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, U2, Paul McCartney), was the Sunday Times’ World Music Album of the Year.
In a duo show created for the Jerusalem Jazz Festival, Ben-Tzur and percussionist Ben Aylon take us on a journey into new and captivating realms of sound and emotion.
