Long Description: Led by Israeli composer/performer Guy Mendilow, this spirited quintet breaks down musical boundaries with an inventive blend of Israeli and Sephardi with Bahian street beats and blues. Featuring world-class musicians from Israel, Argentina, Japan, and the United States, the band performs in Hebrew, Arabic, Ladino, Portuguese, and English and skillfully fuses tradition with a contemporary sound. Alongside lush vocal harmonies, woodwinds, and strings, the Guy Mendilow Band creates intricate textures with berimbaus, percussion, jaw harps, and Mendilow’s award-winning overtone singing. Admission: $15 adults, $10 CVNPA members, and $5.00 children ages 3 - 12. General seating. Advance sales are available until 3 pm on Friday for that weekend's show.
