Divahn performing in NYC!

[Galeet Dardashti <galeet...>]

Dear Friends,

My band Divahn is coming to NYC for some performances in January.  We are based 
in Austin, TX and perform Mizrakhi and Sephardi music.  I hope that those of 
you living in the New York area will be able to attend one of these shows!  I'd 
love to meet some of you.

You can also check out George Robinson's article on Divahn in The Jewish Week 
next week, and listen to us on WNYC's "Sound Check" on January 8th!

Thanks for your support!

Sincerely,

Galeet Dardashti

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.
