Missed the performance & Interview? Watch it here. Coming all the way from Israel, The Libyans will bring their blend of Middle Eastern music to spice up our morning. 

In town to perform on Saturday Nov. 19th as part of the Tarbut Festival at Rady JCC, three members from the group The Libyans will be in our studios to give us a taste of their style of music that we don't often get a chance to hear in Winnipeg. This is a show not to be missed! 

In 2010 The Libyan project was born, the foundations which were taken from leader/founder Yaniv Raba’s cantorial father and cultural ancestral roots. Within this framework, they tracked down and collected obscure and rare poems “piyutim” that were almost lost to the world, along with unique melodies to the Libyan hymns. Selection of these poems, arranging and processing were under the guidance of Yaniv Raba and co-founder Yankale Segal.

The group is comprised of:

Dvir Cohen (Vocals)
Ilan Damari (Vocals)
Roee Freedman (Percussion)
Yaniv Raba (Oud)
Yankale Segal (Bass Guitar)
Yizhak Ventura (Ney)
