MAZAL is a subtle mixture of ancient Sephardic song and new electronic music.
Just as the Iberian Jewish culture has soaked up different influences since the Middle Ages, MAZAL continues to incorporate the latest technologies while keeping hold of the traditional chants that have survived through centuries of exile and the tragedies of history, all the while enriching themselves through contact with different Mediterranean cultures. The ballads handed down from mother to daughter tell of historical events and of heartbreak.
With its rich rhythms and complex samples, MAZAL offers us a way to bridge cultures, bypassing rhetoric and history and lending modernity creating an energetic new dance sound for today.
