In their Chicago debut, percussion trio RebbeSoul brings a new voice to the sometimes-stagnant realm of Jewish music, blending rock sensibilities, world fusion stylings and traditional Hebrew melodies for an ageless yet totally progressive sound. RebbeSoul mixes Mizrahi chant and electronic beats with the funk/ethnic rock style of a power percussion trio using balalaika, darbouka, djembe and cajon.
Inspired by the haunting beauty of a prayer he'd heard in synagogue, he recorded an acoustic rendition which tapped an inner connection; he had found his voice. Months later this acoustic rendition of "Avinu Malkenu" garnered the highest-ever listener call-ins when maverick San Francisco radio station KKSF played it.
