Album Notes

Azuza was formed in 2003. Our music combines the rich roots of Middle Eastern music with contemporary, rock, and jazz to create a unique sound for praise and worship.

We believe that we were created to praise and worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is for that reason that Azuza exists. We also believe that praising the Mighty One of Israel with heartfelt tunes is good for the soul. We pray that you will experience this joy when you listen to the music that the Lord has brought through us.

Several of these songs are taken from the psalms. God gave these psalms to King David and others to be offered as praise and honor to Him. The psalms were also used by Israel to sing praises to the Holy One as the musicians ministered in the Temple. The psalms became, literally, their songbook.

The Lord, by His Holy Spirit, also gave us several other songs. While the words are original, they are solidly based upon Scripture. Their only intent is to bring glory and honor to the Holy One of Israel, blessed is He!

Azuza has recorded two CDs:

* His Holy Temple (2006): A collection of praise and worship songs, including many taken directly from the Psalms. All of the material is written by Azuza through the Holy Spirit.

* Songs of Passover (2006): Featuring music of the Passover festival. Most of the songs are originals, written by Azuza, while the others are traditional songs, including Dayenu and Le-Shanah Haba'ah B'Yerushalayim.
