Kol Oud Tof Trio

about

The name of this group means "voice, oud, drum," and that is what this Israeli group features. Esti Kenan-Ofri is an Italian-born, classically trained soprano with a lilting, sweet voice; Armand Sabach is a Moroccan-born oud player who specializes in classical Arabic music; percussionist Oren Fried is an Israeli native with an extensive background in jazz. The result is a seamless and engaging collaboration that combines Hebrew liturgical poetry, Ladino and Arabic classical modes in a beautiful blend. Trio Kol Oud Tof was born out of deep love for the Moroccan Jewish musical traditions. Trio Kol Oud Tof won the Israeli Ministry of Culture award for best chamber ensemble 2002, performed at the "Strictly Mundial" festival in Marseille 2003 and played in various concerts and festivals in Europe and Israel. The Trio's first CD "Gazelle" was released on Magda Music 2002. This CD brings together for the first time four different Moroccan Jewish musical repertoires which until now have been presented separately: Spanish women's songs from northern Morocco, sung in their original language, Haketia, the Ladino of the Jews of Northern Morocco; songs in the Jewish Moroccan Arabic dialect; Moroccan Jewish liturgical music; and classic Andalusian songs in Hebrew, a tradition which finds it's principal expression in "bakkashot' (petitions).
