Ester Rada’s new album drops soon. Here’s a few reasons to get excited:
Tamir Muskat – You might have seen Tamir as he passed through Philadelphia and other US cities with his energetic gypsy punk band, Balkan Beat Box. As a producer, Tamir has worked with well known Israeli artist like Asaf Avidan and Hava Alberstein. He brings all his skills into this album as producer, arranger, turntablist and drummer.
Itamar Ziegler – His self titled album from 2002 was a blend of blues and world music played through a gritty guitar. His guitar and bass work on this album has reggae and funk influences.
Kutiman – Freaking Kutiman. Everything this guy does is awesome.
Ester Rada – Ester continues to grow as a songwriter and artist. Her soulful edginess is reminiscent of Amy Winehouse. We’re looking forward to hearing the whole album. But for now:
