Album release party

Hagiga in Hebrew means “celebration” and in our music we celebrate the cultural divergence of our Israeli heritage. Alon Farber Hagiga is inspired by the variety of musical flavors and colors of the “Israeli soundtrack”. Our compositions cross musical genres and are influenced by Swing, Moroccan, Funk and Brazilian backgrounds. It is this unique “celebration” of original Israeli jazz that is Hagiga. 

The instrumentation of Hagiga is exciting- three multi-horn players and a rhythm section, and as such the writing is influenced by the works of Dave Douglas, Wayne Shorter and Booker Little.
