Voice of the Soul

Recording artist Sam Glaser and RebbeSoul, popular Jewish rock/world-fusion guitarist have released an innovative new CD Nigun/Voice of the Soul. The Nigun is a traditional Jewish wordless song form.

RebbeSoul says, “When Sam first mentioned these “nigunim” he had written over the years, I knew this was the project we were destined to do...there’s nothing like a good collaboration to turn a dream into reality.”

This unusual album features nineteen infectious reggae-klezmer-worldbeat arrangements of Glaser’s own melodies as well as classic Jewish cover tunes. Over two years in the making, Nigun/Voice of the Soul includes over seventy-four minutes of powerful arrangements produced and performed by Glaser and RebbeSoul with their newly formed ten-piece “Nigun Unlimited Orchestra.”

Some early reviews:

“An entirely new level of sophistication for Jewish music...and I get just about every CD that comes out. Voice of the Soul has incredible depth, is soul stirring and covers myriad emotional fronts. It is a rare album that can tear at your heart and then get you dancing.”
–Jewish Voice

“Nigun is the best CD I've received in years. It has some of the best arrangements I have heard in this traditional “Jewish scat singing” form.
–Phil Fink/Shalom America Radio

“Sam's beautiful voice, Rebbe Soul's soulful style; two geniuses joined to create a unique piece of artistry, each of whom have successfully earned an audience of their own. Voice of the Soul is both a tool to meditate and celebrate...a brilliant achievement in Jewish music.”
–Mindy Chakov, S.W.I.S.H. Productions

“I can't stop playing it! I already used five tracks on my daily klezmer/Jewish music program on WNWR and got great listener reaction. It's fresh, exciting, innovative, uplifting, exhilarating and is one of the best CD's I've gotten in a long time. It's a hit!”
