RebbeSoul (aka Bruce Berger) is a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist who, seemingly, can pick up any stringed instrument and make it sing. With acoustic and electric guitars, bass, balalaika, berimbau, mandolin, oud, saz, and more, RebbeSoul creates a unique and powerful blend of sounds with influences from Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, with a healthy does of American rock, pop, and jazz for good measure. His music FROM the heart goes directly TO the heart.
Fringe of Blue is RebbeSoul's debut recording from 1995. The acoustic and electric versions of "Avinu" (Avinu Malkeinu) blew listeners away and created a buzz in the world of contemporary Jewish music when first heard. The 14 powerful tracks in this collection include classic Jewish tunes like "Y'rushalayim Shel Zahav," "Kol Haolam Kulo," and "Hatikvah" along with Yiddish gems like "Tum Balalaika," all stunningly interpreted by RebbeSoul. This is a CD that you'll listen to again and again.
It was
b'shert for Jewish music veterans
Sam Glaser and
RebbeSoul (
Bruce Burger) to join together in this nigun project, a CD collaboration that was over a year in the making! They take the traditional Jewish wordless song to new heights with 19 singably contagious reggae-klezmer-worldbeat arrangements of nigunim, both ancient and new (including many of Sam's original compositions). This recording, with over seventy-four minutes of music lovingly produced and arranged with their ten piece
Nigun Unlimited Orchestra, also features guest vocal performances by members of
Moshav Band, Blue Fringe, Soul Farm, Gershon Veroba, Six13, B'samim, Kol Zimra, and
Beatachon. Selections include:
Aliyah, If You Believe, Melawach, Ob La Nigun, M'nucha V'simcha, Bar Yochai, David Melech Yisrael, Nigun Hachayal, L'chayim Nigun, Mizmor L'david, 2000 Year Old Nigun, Meshuganigun, Levaya, T'shuva Nigun, Abracadabra, Al Tira, Kislev, Hertzeliya Hoedown, and
Daled Bavot. The twin souls of Sam and Bruce have met, intertwined, and made beautiful music together!
From joyous to contemplative, these nigunim update the tradition with klezmer and reggae overtones.
