An unprecedented gathering of Cantorial and Chassidic music superstars, incorporate contemporary musical styles and sensibilities that attract a generation of young Jewish music fans. 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
