Avital
Raz is a vocal artist who travels across many genres.
Her songs may resemble old English lute songs, Indian Classical Ragas, Cabaret, Blues, Country music or Eastern-European Jewish melodies. A multi-cultured get-together of many strange characters, all rolled up into one quirky singer- songwriter.
She grew up in Jerusalem and trained in classical music as a vocalist and composer.
In her early twenties she moved to Benares, India to study Dhrupad - an ancient style of meditative Indian song- for six years. There she recorded an album based on James Joyce’s Chamber Music poem-cycle with the help of Indian instruments and musicians.
In 2008, Avital recorded Strange Love Songs, a six -song EP described by Dream Magazine as bewitchingly beautiful and seductively dark.
In the last two years Avital performed Extensively in the UK and Berlin where she was based.
Recently, Avital moved to San Francisco where she will release her new album Infidelity later this year.
