Idan Raichel Project: Azini

10:33 PM  Reut R. Cohen  3 comments


When I first heard this song from the Idan Raichel Project a few years ago, I thought it was nice but I couldn't connect with Mira Awad's voice on the original track. It was my least favorite song on the brilliant album, which is filled with songs in Amharic, Hebrew and Arabic.

I had the opportunity to see the Idan Raichel Project in concert again this summer. Maya Avraham gave an amazing rendition of "Azini" ("Comfort Me" in Arabic). Her voice was very touching and I've gained a new appreciation for this track.

They're awesome! My favorite Israeli band for sure.

Heard them twice this summer. Modiin in June was possibly one of the best concerts I have ever been to.

I have to say, though..... Their performance on the Santa Monica Pier left something to be desired. But it was more the venue, than it was the group.

I agree. The Santa Monica venue could have been a bit better organized. It was a free concert, however, which probably made things a bit crazier.
