Jewish Music Competition In Amsterdam Places Soul Aviv as One of the Top Jewish Music Groups in the World

Online, November 30, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Jewish music has gained the interest of many people. Dating hundreds of years back and undergoing various musical transitions over time, this type of crooning aims to reach into one's spirit and evoke feelings of joy. Jewish song enthusiasts attest that when listening to this music with an open heart, listeners will be surprised to feel happiness in their hearts.

Gaining more and more popularity in North America, Soul Aviv is a four person vocal group hailing from Santa Barbara, California. Founded in 2007, this group is composed of Liat Wasserman, Jamie Green, Roxanne Morganstern and Rob Raede. The group has performed at synagogues, JCC's, conferences, college campuses, and almost every Jewish music festival in three short years after its formation.

Singing in English and Hebrew, the group's music is infused with the sounds of folk, Motown, gospel, Memphis soul, and the great harmony groups of the 60's and 70's.

"Fabulous performers whose blend of English, Hebrew, folk, gospel, motown, and of course, soul, deliver a first-class, uplifting performance. Start figuring out a way to bring them to YOUR community," Cantor Nancy Kassell of Temple Beth Tikvah in Roswell, Georgia, says about Soul Aviv.

The music of Soul Aviv has reached heights. The group was one of only 24 ensembles from around the world and one of only three from the US, selected by audition to compete in the 2010 International Jewish music competition in Amsterdam. In the competition, Soul Aviv made it all the way to the semi finals, making its mark as officially one of the top 12 Jewish music groups in the world, as well as the highest placed Jewish music group in the United States.

Soul Aviv's popular tracks include The Candles of Chanukah, Children of the Lord, Are You Ready, Bring Us Home (The Traveler's Prayer), Prayer For My Children, Joyful Noise, Let The Rivers Clap Their Hands, Reach Our Hands Out, Go Down Moses, Feel The Power, Lean on Me and Courage My Soul.
