“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.”

We have been working hard to create some new music that we are very excited to share with our audience and fans very soon. Our new album is called UNTIL WHEN. It features the instrumentalists who have been touring as Jaffa Road for the several years, along with our newest addition - Tamar Ilana on most of the lead vocals.
This new body of work features performances by Tamar Ilana (vocals), Aaron Lightstone (oud, guitars, synthesizers), Justin Gray (bass, synth bass, bass veena), Sundar Viswanathan (sax, bansuri, Fender Rhodes, vocals), Rakesh Tewari (drums & percussion) . Special guests joining us for this album include Aviva Chernick ( vocals), David Wall (vocals) , Ed Hanley (Tabla), Joel Visentin ( Hammond organ, and Fender Rhodes) and Shawn Rompre ( samples, live electronics, electronic percussion).
UNTIL WHEN 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 it is set for release in SPRING 2021 and we can't wait to share it with you.
