“Jaffa Road blends Jewish, jazz, Indian and Arabic music with electronica and dub. The result is fantastic.”
CBC Radio One
“Jaffa Road`s performance for a packed hall was easily one of my favourite moments of the festival. This group of fantastic musicians has an uncanny ability to bring an audience to the edge of their seats one moment, and then get them on their feet dancing the next.”

NEW ALBUM COMING SOON
We have been working hard to create some new music that we are very excited to share with our audience and fans very soon. This album features the instrumentalists who have been touring as Jaffa Road for the several years, along with Tamar Ilana, Sundar Viswanathan and other exciting guests on lead vocals.
This new body of work features performances by Tamar Ilana (vocals), Aaron Lightstone (oud, guitars, saz, synthesizers), Justin Gray (bass, synth bass, bass veena), Sundar Viswanathan (sax, bansuri, Fender Rhodes, vocals), Rakesh Tewari (Middle Eastern & Latin percussion) . Special guests joining us for this album include Aviva Chernick ( vocals), David Wall (vocals) , Ed Hanley (Tabla) and Shawn Rompre ( live electronics).
This new album features original music for some beautiful Hebrew piyutim from the Jewish communities of India, Yemen, Morocco, & Afghanistan, original songs in English inspired by the sensuality of the Song of Songs.
Stay tuned we can't wait to share it with you.
