Tafillalt: Jerusalem, Israel; An innovative Israeli ensemble of composers and performers, Tafillalt navigate in the multicultural soundscape of 21st-century Israel, presenting a deeply personal interpretation of various traditional and modern Jewish materials (sacred Hebrew poetry from North Africa and the Middle East, Hassidic Niggunim, modern secular Hebrew poetry and more), as well as their own original musical and literary compositions. Established in 2000, the members of the Tafillalt ensemble are also founding members of the Jerusalem contemporary music collective, Haoman Hai, a counterpart of the Radical Jewish Music projects in New York City. Tafillalt have performed widely throughout Israel, as well as the USA, England, Hungary, and Ukraine at venues including the Lviv Klezmer Fest, Jewish Summer Festival, Budapest, Wesleyan University, the Israel National Museum. In addition to concert performances, the ensemble frequently gives workshops on both traditional and modern approaches to Jewish music.
