We are the process of choosing the last few tracks for the 2nd Sephardic Music Festival Compilation!
The first compilation found Matisyahu with a Yemenite chorus, Yasmin Levy sweetly singing Mi Korasón, Yair Dalal’s introspective Ya Ribon Alam, & Sarah Aroeste being remixed by Tamir Muskat of Balkan Beat Box.
Vol. 2 will feature Watcha Clan, Axum, Diwon, DeLeon and tons more! The compilation is a fundraiser for the festival which hits NYC this Dec 8th through the 15th!
