Album 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 previously released three critically acclaimed recordings: "Behold!" (1997), which was nominated for Best World/Folk album by the Contemporary A Cappella Society of America; "Roots & Wings" (1992); and "Gather Round" (1989).

I received this CD four days ago and have already played it so much that I've unconsciously memorized the words! These women have superb voices that blend together beautifully. Some of the songs really make you think...and some of them really make you dance! ...get out your tambourines and drums! Excellent!

Wonderful CD. The first number, Heart Beat, has haunted me ever since I heard the first excerpt on the artists' website. These musicians are very professional, very musical, and a whole lot of fun. I highly recommend this CD for anyone who wants to hear Jewish music with a new take on tradition.
