The Idan Raichel Project
Today we’d like to introduce you to Idan Raichel and his project. To those of you who are already familiar with Idan, we suggest you refresh your familiarity as well.
Idan was recently interviewed by Public Radio International about his growing success and role in the International music scene. But first a little background:
“The Idan Raichel Project burst onto the Israeli music scene in 2002, changing the face of Israeli popular music and offering a message of love and tolerance that resonated strongly in a region of the world where the headlines are too often dominated by conflict. With an enchanting blend of Ethiopian and Middle Eastern flavors coupled with sophisticated production techniques and a spectacular live show, the Idan Raichel Project has become one of the most unexpected success stories in Israeli music today. While he regularly fills large concert halls at home, the upcoming international release of his recordings on the Cumbancha record label promises to introduce the work of this inspirational collective to a wide global audience.”

One Comment:
Wasn’t this the guy who was exploiting Ethiopian musicians by not paying them? Ask the EOTS (Ethiopian On The Street) what he/she thinks of Idan Raichel.
