Idan Raichel, the architect of this unique project, is a keyboardist, producer and composer who burst onto the israeli music scene in 2002, changing the face of the popular music from his country and offering a message of love, peace and tolerance.

While recent headlines are dominated by news of conflict and war in the Middle East, an Israeli musical collaborative has achieved success by looking beyond intercultural differences and celebrating the value of diversity. Infusing a blend of traditional Ethiopian folk music, Arabic poetry, Yemenite chants, Biblical psalms and Caribbean rhythms, The Idan Raichel Project has created an unparalleled musical experience that has taken the world by storm.

Idan Raichel invited over 70 different musicians from a wide variety of backgrounds to participate in the recordings that now make up The Idan Raichel Project. Idan has long been fascinated by the music of Israels growing population of Ethiopian Jews, and many songs feature members of Israels Ethiopian community. The recordings also include Arab musicians, traditional Yemenite vocalists, a toaster and percussionist from Suriname and a South African singer, among others.

The music of the Idan Raichel Project is available worldwide through the record label Cumbancha.
