Mark Eliyahu — About Love

ABOUT LOVE. International composer and creator Mark Eliyahu, on a summer tour ahead of a new album. Eliyahu is an extraordinary composer, a unique producer and an international kamancheh master. In the new show Mark combines maqam theory and instruments from the ancient world with innovative, groundbreaking production. Together with his band of international masters he gently fuses East and West, sweeping listeners into a musical journey that moves between emotional depths and a tribal party. A musical journey of hope, love and connection.

(Haaretz, Ben Shalev) "Mark Eliyahu truly navigates a wide and ancient atlas, setting out from Central Asia, passing through the Caucasus, Persia, the Middle East, Jewish, Arab and mystical realms, and also passing by updated Western harmonies." (Maariv, Amichai Hasson) "Mark Eliyahu creates cross-cultural music, timeless and non-religious, though rooted in Jewish soil. There is not a speck of commercialism in it, and it is fascinating in the uses it makes of tradition to create a new sound." (Yossi Harsonsky)
