If Aretha Franklin were Jewish and sang with The Staple Singers, it would sound like Soul Aviv. This four-person vocal group out of Santa Barbara, CA creates music that is a unique blend of traditional spirituals, Hebrew prayers, original songs, old favorites, and even a little Bob Marley. Infused with the sounds of Motown soul, gospel, traditional spirituals, reggae, and the great harmony groups of the '60s and '70s, Soul Aviv’s high energy “Jewish Soul Gospel” is music that speaks to Tikkun Olam, and it's music that makes people clap their hands, stomp their feet, and lift their voices to sing along.
Soul Aviv appeared to enthusiastic acclaim at the 2009 URJ Biennial in Toronto, and this debut album (2008) has been receiving glowing reviews across North America. Soul Aviv is “inspiring, fun, entertaining, smart, musically brilliant, and full of feeling…” Their music will “ take you to the places you were meant to go."
