BIO

Nigun Quartet is an original Israeli jazz ensemble that creates new Hasidic Jewish music.

Within Hasidism, the “nigun” (melody) is a tool used to awaken the soul toward spiritual reflection. The melody is believed to have a power to rid man of the mundane, day-to-day dust and elevate one unto higher states of connection with the creator — and all of creation. There are melodies that bring the soul to joy and those that bring it to longing - there are melodies evoking heroism and those evoking inner peace.
