DIVAHN
Thursday, March 26 at 8:00PM
Iranian-descended singer Galeet Dardashti leads the all-female powerhouse Middle Eastern Jewish ensemble Divahn. The New York City-based group has gained an international following with its fresh and fiery renditions of traditional and original Sephardi/Mizrahi Jewish songs: lush string arrangements, eclectic Indian, Middle Eastern, and Latin percussion, and vocals spanning Hebrew, Judeo-Spanish, Persian, Arabic, and Aramaic. "Divahn," a word common to Hebrew, Persian, and Arabic, means a collection of songs or poetry. Through its music, Divahn underscores common ground between diverse Middle Eastern cultures and religions.
Recorded live at Joe's Pub on March 7, 2020.
Closures and cancellations because of COVID-19 have majorly disrupted access to revenue for artists all over the world. If you are enjoying this performance and are able to support, please consider supporting Divahn by purchasing their album, Shalhevet.
