notes

Vocolot brings a joyous fusion of folk, jazz and cantorial vocal traditions into the contemporary a cappella world.

They sing in English, Hebrew, Ladino, Yiddish, and Arabic, blending lush harmonies, soaring melodies and global percussion in original works and new renderings of ancient songs and texts. Vocolot's music, rooted in universal heart, social conscience and Jewish soul, communicates a powerful vision of world peace and reconciliation.

Vocolot is a California Arts Council Touring Artist and performs internationally, uplifting and enthralling audiences of all ages with songs of celebration, community and Jewish heritage. Vocolot has released three other critically acclaimed recordings: "Heart Beat" (2002), which was awarded Best Album and Best Song ("La Comida") by the Contemporary A Cappella Society of America; "Behold!" (1997), which was nominated for Best World/Folk album by the CASA; and "Gather Round" (1989).
