Guy Mendilow Band - In Concert (teaser)

An overall sense of this band in just 3 minutes!

Led by Israeli composer/performer Guy Mendilow, this spirited quintet breaks down musical boundaries with an inventive blend of Israeli and Sephardi tempered with Bahian street beats and Blues.

The buoyant, life-affirming, sweetly acoustic music of Israeli-born Mendilow incorporates influences from across the Middle East, Africa, South America and beyond. It's a folk music of hope and affirmation, sophisticated in its delivery but easily accessible to listeners anywhere. — Howard Reich/Chicago Tribune

This isnt for quirky ears, its for jaded ears that need to be shaken awake with
something substantially different that keeps the interest on the beam throughout.
Delightfully different, even when it seems like it might be familiar. —Chris Spector/Midwest Record

he is an international drummer who would love your stuff.

He and Diana Young operate the Young Fish School of International drumming.

I sometimes sing with him at India in Providence.

Are you out of MA or RI?

@mustrangesally Sounds like a good connection, thanks for thinking of it! We're half in MA and half in Brooklyn. This video is actually quite old at this point - new playlist is up on our profile

[mustrangesally]

[gmendilow]

@mustrangesally I have not met Bob Fish. I also confess my ignorance. Who is Bob Fish?

@robertone10 just wanted to let you know that we recently recorded these two tunes (Cocheck and Out the Corner) for a new album soon to be released. We may also send out preview Mp3s through facebook.
