Summer Concert

Magda Fishman & Shorashim
June 20, 2006

Shorashim is an Israeli musical group committed to promoting the heritage of Israeli music. Initiated by vocalist Magda Fishman and pianist Yuval Cohen, Shorashim's goal is to bring people closer to Israel through music, and teach about its tradition through the joy of singing.

Natives of Israel, Magda and Yuval grew up hearing these songs, songs about the land of Israel and songs about the people of Israel. Today, as professional musicians in New York, they go back to their own Shorashim (roots) and bring the audience along with them.

The roots of Israel are mingled around the world, just like the music of Israel. Every new Aliyah brought with them different heritage, food and music. In the melting pot of Jews who came to Israel from the Diaspora, traditional music and new music were blended to create fascinating sounds.
Magda and Yuval, joined by additional Israeli musicians, present a captivating show of song, story, sing-along and joy.
