By Guy Mendilow, featuring overtone singing solo
Led by Israeli composer/performer Guy Mendilow, this spirited quintet breaks down musical boundaries with a dynamic blend of Sephardi tempered with Brazilian street beats and blues. Featuring world-class musicians from Israel, Japan, and the United States, the band skillfully fuses tradition with a contemporary sound in vibrant musical storytelling awash with lush vocal harmonies, intricate textures and spellbinding rhythms.
"The buoyant, life-affirming, sweetly acoustic music of Israeli-born Mendilow incorporates influences from across the Middle East, 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 isn't for quirky ears, it's 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
"The Guy Mendilow Band embodies world music at its best."
— Diana Nollen/The Cedar Rapids Gazette
"This is, to folk, what Bela Fleck is to Foggy Mountain Breakdown. This is unusual and exciting." — Philadelphia Folk Song Society
