Jaffa Road
With: Aviva Chernick (Vox), Aaron Lightstone (Guitar, Oud, Saxophone), Chris Gartner (Bass, Guitar), Jeff Wilson (Drums, Percussion), Sundar Viswanathan (Sax, flute).
Toronto’s Jaffa Road blends tradition with innovation, bringing together diverse musical languages that include Jewish roots, jazz, Indian and Arabic music, electronica, and dub. Ancient and original poetry in Hebrew, Spanish and English collides with belly dance rhythms, pulsating dub grooves, exhilarating improvisations, and a global mix of instrumentation.
