Idan Raichel performing in Boston

Idan Raichel

Idan Raichel

Since I’ve first heard the Idan Raichel Project’s music I’ve been amazed by the seductive hooks, danceable beats, and mixing of languages. This popular Israeli music group has recently released their 3rd album and is currently touring to promote it. On Tuesday night, Boston gets a visit by the multi-talented musician.

From their website:

The Idan Raichel Project burst onto Israel’s music scene in 2002, changing the face of Israeli popular music and offering a message of love and tolerance that resonated strongly in a region of the world where headlines are too often dominated by conflict. With an enchanting blend of African, Latin American, Caribbean and Middle Eastern sounds coupled with sophisticated production techniques and a spectacular live show, the Idan Raichel Project has become one of the most unexpected success stories in Israeli music history.

See them perform live on Tuesday night, hosted by CrashArts/World Music. The show is at the Berklee Performance Center, 136 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, MA at 7:30 PM. Find out more details on the GesherCity Calendar
