Residing between Jerusalem, Morocco, and currently as Bamah Visiting Artists-in-residence at Xavier and Tulane Universities in New Orleans, this creative couple have developed a new cohort of American collaborators with whom they infuse their unique musical style with a blend of Andalusian, Amazigh, Jewish-Moroccan Chaabi, and Arabic influences, seamlessly woven together with jazz. This powerful fusion bridges cultures and generations, creating an unforgettable sound that honors the past while envisioning the future.
