The virtuosity and deeply emotional artistry of the world’s great Cantors  has been a passion of music aficionados from the earliest days of the recording and film media, when Cantors like the legendary Yosele Rosenblatt became models of vocal brilliance. Add the creativity of Chassidic superstars  Avraham Fried., Lipa Shmeltzer  and their original  contemporary Yiddish songs  – and Zusha, a neo chassidic band, listed on Billboards top 10 World Music charts
