A YEAR AFTER WAR, FUNKY JEWISH & LEBANESE BANDS SHOW A WAY FORWARD

  August 3, 2007                                         KFAR Jewish Arts Center: Stimulating, promoting and producing the next generation of Jewish expression     

	8/19 7pm (6:30 doors): Rabbinical School Dropouts & Lamajaml @ Empty Bottle Buy Tickets before August 5 and save $5 off door price!     Send this to a friend		Last August, Jewish and Lebanese civilians ran for cover as war erupted along Israel's border. One year later, KFAR commemorates by bringing two bands together to show the potential for peace and a way forward through music. Lamajamal mixes folk music from the Balkans, Middle East and their own blend of Dick Dale style surf rock. With oud, melodica, guitar, clarinet, dolcimer and loungy saxophone, Lamajamal takes listeners from Beirut to Istanbul to Sofia with all stops in between. The Rabbinical School Dropouts' owe more to the space fantasies of jazz pioneer Sun-Ra, layering clarinets and trombone over tablas and ever-changing time signatures. The aptly named experiment skims nerd-core and math-rock as performed by Yeshiva rejects, reverse-engineering what Klezmer might have become had its best players survived WWII. RSDO's third album, Cosmic Tree, was released on MacArthur Genius John Zorn's Tzadik Records and a fourth CD, Vehicles Behind Comets, was self-released.  RSDO keeps a sense of humor, though, naming tunes "Wannabe Maccabee," "Counterfeit Gelt" and "Mystical New Age Hot Dog of the Covenant." Whimsy aside, both acts advance their respective musical traditions, and by playing together emphasize the commonalities of the two cultures and their ability to exist side by side and enrich each other.
