While headlines are dominated by news of bitter conflict in the Middle East, The Idan Raichel Project has achieved success by looking beyond cultural differences and celebrating the value of diversity. Led by young keyboardist, composer and producer Idan Raichel, The Project’s blend of traditional Ethiopian folk music, Arabic poetry, Yemenite chants, Biblical psalms and Caribbean rhythms--finessed with sophisticated production techniques—has resulted in an unparalleled musical phenomenon.
