בעשור האחרון נחשף שוק המוסיקה היהודית בישראל לשלל אמנים ויוצרים בעלי תשובה, המביאים מטען מוסיקלי מהעבר הרחוק ומשלבים אותו בהווה הרוחני שלהם, יחד מפיקים מוסיקה יהודית איכותית. בשורה משמחת מביא אלינו המוסיקאי והיוצר יוחאי בן אב”י (34) ממושב הזורעים בגליל התחתון, המשיק בימים אלה אלבום בכורה משובח שעונה לשם שעה ברחוב הגליל. יוחאי הוא ‘דתי מלידה’, ובאחד השירים המרתקים באלבום הנקרא בשם זה, מתאר בשפה מליצית את תחושותיו בתור אחד שכזה.

המוסיקה היתה תמיד בעורקיו של בן אב”י, אם זה בבתים של הסבים משני הצדדים – אשכנזי ומרוקאי ואם זה בהרכב מוסיקלי מתפתח בו נטל חלק בישיבה התיכונית. בהמשך כתב והלחין שירים והופיע מידי פעם באירועים קטנים, אך הדחיפה המשמעותית החלה בשנת השבתון מההוראה בה החל ללמוד הלחנה, עיבוד וכתיבה יוצרת בבית הספר למוסיקה מזמור בגבעת וושינגטון.

האלבום שעה ברחוב הגליל מסכם תקופה של עשר שנות יצירה, באוסף משיריו המקוריים המבוצעים בסגנון הנע בין רוק לישראלי. שיריו משלבים בין מילים משמעותיות ללחן זורם וקליט, ונוגעים בנקודות אישיות וכלליות המדברות אל כל אחד. שם האלבום מסמל יותר מכל את האופי שלו: “הזמן בגליל רץ לאט יותר, לא רודפים אחרי דברים שרודפים באזור המרכז” – מסביר יוחאי.

השיר מחכה לאבא על הגעגועים של ילד קטן לאביו מטיל קצת אור על שם משפחתו המיוחד. אביו נפטר כשהיה בן שנתיים בלבד, שמו היה אברהם יצחק – לפיכך בחר לאמץ כ’שם במה’ את השם בן אב”י. השיר מבוצע בדואט עם אחיו של יוחאי, השחקן אוריאל רוזנבאום, ומעביר מסר של המשכיות ונחמה. המילים והלחנים באלבום – כולם של בן אב”י, (למעט שני שירים מהמקורות), כשעל ההפקה המוסיקלית מנצח עמרי מראד, מוסיקאי מוכשר מטבריה.

It’s time to revolutionize the next Seder: regenerate with more original songs of the Haggadah, beyond the familiar songs from the kindergarten. Thirty days before the Passover holiday and prepare for it certainly can be applied also to ‘cooking’ holiday tunes. Hilik renowned clarinetist Frank took the matter seriously. Passover preparations began for him this year already after Sukkot. After six months of hard work and strenuous is out of the studio album that will be carrying your holiday: Passover in Jerusalem, a new album in a series of holiday tunes.

Many wondered how most of the songs themselves Seder are familiar to older songs they had learned in kindergarten. Yechiel Frank discovered the reason; Passover is a holiday family. Even the courts of Hasidic editors tables on weekends and holidays in public, the order they used to do only with the family. So formed traditions of music unique to each community and rarely playing for Passover last Hasidic one another. When Yechiel began the work of the collection he had to work hard. But it was worth : foraging are complex found a treasure; Different melodic rhythm of the rest of the times, and materials magic just go out to the public domain. Away Songs Seder includes familiar and favorite, entered the album also melodies associated with each air month of spring, melodies seventh day of Passover, Songs Song of Songs – and even things related to the days of the Omer.

The success of his composition the heart and the spring does not need to talk. Also two previous album series Purim and Sukkot, a huge success when they first album also reached gold status. Little surprise waiting for purchasers of the album: When you open it, find that the disk sits on a silver bowl-like order. Like its predecessors, the album comes out in two versions: an album with Hasidic choir and an instrumental album Speechless.

Instead of grumbling about slavery, begin to dance with the broom, lifting with Hilik until next Passover and you’ll discover that the house was already clean.

Audio has been sent to JewishMusicReport.com that was taken of Avraham Fried singing a brand new song live at a recent apearance. On the audio Fried says the song was composed by Mendy Jerufi and will be featured on the all new CD. According to some reports we are hearing the new CD could be released within the next 4-6 weeks. Of course this is not confirmed. For those unsure, this is not the Hebrew album which was announced recently but an all new album with original songs in line with My Fellow Jew and Bein Kach.

Singer Sholom Jacobs performed at Menorah lightings across Germany this Chanukah, joining Shluchim Yehuda Teichtal in Berlin, Chaim Barkahn in Dusseldorf and Rabbi Eliezer Chitrik in Nuremberg.

After several successful years of bringing Jewish music to Poland, the United Kingdom and the United States in honor of Chanukah, singer Sholom Jacobs continued his tradition of bringing music to Eastern Europe with three smash shows in the German cities of Berlin, Dusseldorf and Nuremberg.

“Each year I put together a tour in places that cannot afford big productions but have many Jews,” explained Sholom. “The Lubavitcher rebbe asked us to share the Jewish spark and bring out the pintela yid in every Jew. There is no greater way to do that than by bringing music and dancing to people in parts of the world that have been through so much.”

Sholom was joined on this tour by producer and accompanist Avram Zamist, and the two delighted hundreds of people at every venue, which were coordinated with the help of local Chabad shluchim, Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal (Berlin), Rabbi Chaim Barkahn (Dusseldorf) and Rabbi Eliezer Chitrik (Nuremberg).

The first show, which took place on the first night of Chanukah, was held at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, transforming the exact spot Hitler used for his hate filled rallies into an oasis of Jewish pride as over 1,800 people braved the extreme cold to enjoy a rare taste of Jewish music. Among those in attendance were United States Ambassador Philip D. Murphy, Bundestag Vice President Wolfgang Thierse, Berlin Senator for Urban Development Michael Müller and chairwoman of the Alliance ’90/The Greens Bundestag parliamentary group Renate Künast.

Over 500 people, attended the second night’s concert, held in the city’s main square. The third night of Chanuah featured an indoor concert in Nuremberg, attended by over 250 people. Despite the frigid temperatures, people stayed well into the night in all three cities, singing and dancing well into the night as the both the light of the menorah and the warmth and beauty of Jewish music captured the magic of Chanukah.

Upon his return to New York, Sholom had the distinct privilege of lighting the Chanukah menorah at Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza, giving New Yorkers equal opportunity to enjoy Sholom’s unique style and melodious voice.
