We spent the weekend with Jewdyssee in Cali at both the 40 Tour USC show as well as the 40 Stop at Jewlicious and we are officially head over heals! Picture M.I.A. in Hebrew School and you get Maya Saban‘s Jewdyssee project. We tour the world filming Shemspeed artists so that we could give you a sneak peek of their live show. This time they met us halfway, well more than halfway, Berlin to L.A. Well, the video is up top, or to the side, depending on your browser and it is Jewdyssee performing the funkiest Jewish morning prayer ever, “Adon Olam”! kiddies!
p.s. you could hear Jewdyssee on Diwon‘s “Beat Guide to Yiddish” and check www.jewdyssee.com for more songs and news.
p.p.s. Jewdyssee will be performing live on Sunday eve at the Maidelle Girl Purim Party, check maidelle.com for more info.
Shemspeed is an independent recording label and promotional agency highlighting cross-over music artists with positive and unifying messages. Founded by Erez Safar, an American-Israeli DJ/Producer, Shemspeed promotes over 15 dynamic artists representing a wide range of genres including hip-hop, reggae, and rock. These artists include Y-Love (revolutionary Jewish hip-hop), Diwon (Yemenite / Sephardic hip-hop, Israeli music and more), DeScribe (soul-awakening dancehall, hip-hop, & soul), and Electro Morocco (Israeli rock, dance music.) Shemspeed artists, collectively showcasing the diversity in world Jewish music, have performed with musicians as varied as Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, Idan Raichel and Eminem; they’ve been profiled in Rolling Stone, SPIN, The New York Times and XXL; and they’ve been seen and heard around the world on various TV appearances (Conan O’Brien, CBS and BBC World) and global radio. Shemspeed’s mission is unifying people through culture and education, celebrating diversity and common ground. By way of this work, we add a public Jewish voice to multi-cultural, inter-faith, creative and collaborative bridge-building.
