> Fans first heard Divahn's Middle Eastern and Sephardic grooves deep in the
heart of Texas.  Today, this dynamic Austin-based quartet delights audiences
throughout the country and has made numerous live radio appearances.  Divahn
infuses traditional songs with sophisticated harmonies and arrangements
using tabla, cello, rabel, doumbek, banjo and other acoustic instruments,
plus vocals in Hebrew, Judeo-Spanish, Persian, Arabic, Aramaic and Turkish.
Their beautiful lyricism flows through an intense rhythmic drive.  The group
distinguishes itself as the only all-female ensemble performing
Mizrakhi-influenced music (Jewish music from the Middle East and North
Africa) in the US.
>
> Divahn, a word common to Hebrew, Persian, and Arabic, means a collection
of songs or poetry.  Through its music, Divahn seeks to underscore the
interconnectedness of diverse Middle Eastern cultures and religions.  The
group captures the breadth and diversity of Mizrakhi and Sephardi music
throughout the centuries, while simultaneously creating and redefining
innovative directions for the music in the present.
