YIDDISH SONG / MIDDLE EASTERN SOUNDS

‘One of the most vibrant genres in world music. Yiddish music is the new rock & roll.’ The Guardian

Marianna Moralis: vocals
David Mowat: trumpet
Knud Stüwe: guitar
Simon Leach / Brendan Hockey: percussion

Yalla! An infectiously entertaining mish-mosh of powerful Yiddish music hall songs and whirling klezmer and Middle Eastern dance tunes.

Marianna Moralis' impassioned vocals lead the party, driving fabulous New York Yiddish theatre songs, old world Yiddish folk songs, and ​​cheerful singalongs; David Mowat (trumpet), Knud Stüwe (guitar) and Simon Leach / Brendan Hockey (percussion) propel the joyous and sizzling arrangements with their impressive playing and enormous sense of fun.

With fantastic music, brilliant audience rapport and more than a touch of goodtime showbiz, this is a set guaranteed to raise the spirits. Sababa!

'Energetic and exciting, Chai For All combine klezmer, Yiddish folk and jazz throughout their music. Making one fierce brew as a result. It’s emotive, soulful and unlike anything you’ll ever see.' Bristol24/7

'We saw Chai For All last Wednesday at the Lansdown and had a fabulous night. Wonderful music to bring joy to any day.
Marianna is a charismatic lead singer, beautiful to listen to. Looking forward to seeing them again and if I have a party at any point I will definitely be booking them.'
