Ari Ben Moses band

Ari Ben Moses band Reggae and Latin music influences heavily the Ari Ben Moses in sound and spirit. Their music underscores the humanity in us all and includes direct references to Jewish themes of peace and Torah. Ari Ben Moses has performed at London’s Limmud, straddling the lines that divide us with stellar music. Fans of rock-steady, Bob Marley and Santana should prepare in advance for this very special treat.

Hear the music:

David Gould: Adonai & I

David Gould: Adon*i & I While on the road for 5 years performing with reggae heroes John Brown's Body, bassist David Gould pondered the connections, and began to explore the ties between roots reggae and the deep Hebrew melodies he heard in synagogue growing up in New York. The combination resonated deeply in his blood and this eclectic group was born. The group performs reggae and dub interpretations of Hebrew melodies and psalms. ZION!!!
