Hoshana Rabbah Kumzits with Yehuda Green 7/10
Description
The Ultimate Kumzits with the One and only Yehuda Green On Hoshana Rabbah Evening Thursday October 8 2009 in Boro Park While the world of Jewish music has become saturated with "Shlomo Style" performances and performers, none have captured the hearts and souls of audiences around the world with the soft spoken success of Yehudah Green. Born to a prominent Chassidic family in Jerusalem, Yehudah received his first exposure to the music of Reb Shlomo Carlebach at the age of five. Despite his tender age (or perhaps because of it), Yehudah immediately connected with Shlomo's sincere --almost spiritual, soulfulness on a truly "organic" level. Rather than imitate it, his youthful innocence and exuberance enabled him to "absorb" its essence into his "musical DNA" and ultimately into his signature performance style. Like Shlomo, the honesty of Yehuda's music unites our people as only our almost universal love of song can. Regardless if its an intimate kumsitz or a sold out concert, Yehuda's style evokes an emotionally response that few if any performers can match Or, as he describes it--with a level of modesty that invariably brings his "mentor" to mind; "Music is about honesty--not affectation...since childhood my music and singing just naturally went in Shlomo's direction...it's that "emes" that connects with audiences and Baruch Hashem lets them respond on a much deeper level.
