Details

In the words of its bandleader, Zohar’s Nigun is violinist Daniel Weltlinger’s seminal musical project exploring the very essence of the complicated and fractured nature of identity in the 21st Century with all the emotional baggage that such exploration encompasses... get ready for a wild ride!

Based on the premise that jazz is a truly democratic multilingual art form, generating music that can blend with just about any culture or any ancient people’s traditional music, ‘Zohar’s Nigun’ (literally meaning "a song from the depths of one’s soul") is about the reality that is one’s family origins no matter where in the world one is based in the mad mass globalised existence that is the 21st Century.

Using the analogy of four Jewish musicians from multicultural Australia – a land populated for some 80,000 years or so by Aboriginal peoples – the conceptual point of the band is that every single human being has a family heritage that they belong to that is unique and impossible to simply categorise, and that in many cases in today’s world is additionally from outside of the country that they are living or have been born in. No one can simply ‘choose’ where their parents are from, where they happen to have been born or what their skin colour or ethnicity is – it is an impossibility. It simply is and is beautiful and meant to be.
Devoid of the usual cultural clichés, four guys with Jewish heritage from Australia present four very different understandings of an ancient yet ever metamorphosing culture and ethnic heritage.
Utilising an at times sharp sense of humour as well as a deep understanding of history and its endless repercussions, the music of Zohar’s Nigun offers an antidote to the endless prejudice and stereotyping from the many voices lacking reason and balance that seem to dominate the mass media and thus public perception. Shalom!
