BASYA SCHECHTER & PHARAOH’S DAUGHTER
A South Africa Event on 2016-04-14 19:30:00
Basya Schechter and her world-music ensemble, Pharaoh's Daughter bring a wild instrumental blend of traditional Hasidic influences, Arabic rhythm and African beats; while pinpoint rhythms, rumbling, insistent bass and Fillmore-era organ lines flirt with Eastern oud, santur, and kamanche when Pharaoh's Daughter takes the Towne Crier Cafe stage in a concert to benefit Beacon Hebrew Alliance, the home for loving, creative Judaism in the Hudson Valley.
Pharaoh's Daughter sound as if Pink Floyd and PJ Harvey crossed paths in an Israeli cafe and took a road trip to South Africa, joining up with Radiohead in Morocco along the way. Leonard Cohen says Pharaoh's Daughter's last album, Dumiyah, is "such a delight – the groove, the purity, the skill. So fresh and yet so familiar, as the work of the heart always is."
Basya will be sharing songs from her previous albums as well as a new collection called Songs Of Desire, which draws on the erotic and mystical aspects of the biblical Song Of Songs.
We are making available a limited number of VIP Backstage Passes, which include a private post-show meet and greet with Basya Schechter and a signed copy of the album Dumiyah. Concert tickets must be purchased separately.
