This Sunday our whole group went to a free Idan Raichel concert put on by Masa. Masa is an umbrella organization that helps fund many, many volunteer programs that brings Jewish volunteers to Israel, for example, Otzma! Masa is funded by the Israeli government and the Jewish Agency. So, in addition to giving people money towards volunteering in Israel, they also put on events throughout the year available to all Masa participants.
This past Sunday was a free Idan Raichel concert for our entire program. Idan Raichel is essentially the leader of a group known as the Idan Raichel Project. They are a very well known group in Israel as well as among some young Jews in the States. It was a concert unlike anything I've ever seen. Idan Raichel writes all of the music and sings some of the songs while playing the keyboard. They have a big band and several lead singers who all play their separate roles in the group.
Everyone in the group comes from all over the world and is required to speak several languages for admittance into the group to even be considered. Because they come from such different places they all have very different styles yet somehow work together incredibly well. They are each individually talented and come together in this cohesive, eclectic mash of wonderfulness. Basically, it was spectacular. Below is the website for the Idan Raichel Project, you can sample there the truly beautiful music and understand the interesting group dynamics.
