Impelled from the first by an irresistible energy, richly varied masterpieces of gloriously global song and dance are woven together into a vibrant night of music, mood and motion.
[CHAI FOR ALL] HIGHLY SKILLED - A CLASS ACT.
VENUE MAGAZINE
Set against stirring and subtle traditional instrumental backing, impeccable dancers Oona La Luna and Arabella revel in the power, grace and precision of their sinuous Middle Eastern/Arabic dance, reaching to the heart of raqs sharqi belly-dance. Fine exponents of the art, they weave a hypnotic magic, creating beautiful lines and shapes with their torsos, hips, hands, necks, arms, and midriffs.
Chai For All - ‘Chai’ is the Hebrew word for ‘life’ - is one of the finest and most entertaining Bristol-based exponents of great global music, its adventurous musicians ricocheting effortlessly between genres, styles, and languages. Performing in Yiddish, English, Ladino, Hebrew, Arabic and Romani, Marianna Moralis’ impassioned vocals drive a wildly eclectic and emotive selection of exquisite songs from Jewish, Middle Eastern and Arabic diaspora communities. David Mowat (trumpet), Knud Stüwe (guitar, oud), and Simon Leach (cajón, darbuka, oud) propel the joyous and rousing arrangements with their impressive playing and enormous sense of fun.
