THE PEACE KEFFIYEH + THE RASTA/TIE-DYE KEF


Peace is something everyone wants, every language in the world has a version of this world in their vocabulary. One of the long standing feuds have been between Jewish & Muslim people, which is the inspiration behind the peace, shalom, salaam Keffiyeh.  Though peace talks have been taking place for years now and the divide has grown even wider with harsh actions & rhetoric on both sides, yet it seems there is a consensus that both sides want peace, the problem is that each side wants it on their terms.  We are launching a grass rout campaign to try to focus on the similarities on these Semitic people rather than on our differences. At the end of the day the roots are quite similar in nature since both faiths originate with Abraham and with a shared culture (before the Jews settled around the world) history and now the land. The only sustainable option is coming in terms with a peaceful resolution to this long standing divide. Here is our contribution to this effect.

INTRODUCING THE KABBALAH COLORED TZITZIT!


These one of a kind tzitzit are made out of 2 Israeli Keffiyeh sewn, crafted and tied in NYC. In our effort to make the ultimate tzitzit, we completely redesigned this
begged (garment) by connecting the sides, for a more comfortable fit, with enough length in order to make them Kosher tzitzit. We hand tie dye them to order in red,
orange or green, your choice! The strings are 100% wool, 100% kosher and are available in Ashkenazi and Sephardi knots.

* A mix of traditional, dance, electro, hip hop, and folk songs from around the Sephardic world makes up the Sephardic Music Festival's first compilation album, set for world-wide release on November 30th. Grammy-nominated artist Matisyahu combines a suite of Middle Eastern inspired hip hop riffs with a time-honored Yemenite chorus sung by Yehuda Solomon. Yasmin Levy's impassioned song "Mi Korasón" (My Heart) emphasizes the underappreciated romantic side of the Ladino language. The Moshav Band -- an L.A. based group of expatriate Israeli musicians -- contributes a powerful rendition of the Yemenite wedding song "Abba Shimon" in Judeo Arabic. In addition, Yair Dalal, the world-renowned Sephardic musician who performed at the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize Gala in Oslo, offers a memorable interpretation of the classic Shabbat song "Ya Ribon."

Tracklisting: 1. Matisyahu - Two Child One Drop, 2. Moshav - Abba Shimon, 3. Smadar Levi - Ghali Ya Bouy, 4. Brody - Yalda Metuka (feat. Y-Love), 5. Yasmin Levy - Mi Korasón, 6. Yair Dalal - Ya Ribon Alam, 7. Electro Morocco - Joe Pill, 8. dJOoKRoO & Diwon - Rak Tavi Esh, 9. DeScribe & Shmoolik - Modern Day Moses (Stolen Casios Remix), 10. Sarah Aroeste - Hija Mia (Tamir Muskat Remix), 11. Shi360 & Yamanz - Kapayim, 12. Diwan Saz - Who is She that Looketh Forth as the Dawn, 13. Pharaoh's Daughter - Ven Hermosa, 14. Levi Mordechai - Ani Maamin, 15. Michal Cohen - Ode L'eli, 16. Jon Madof - D'ror Yikra, 17. Galeet Dardashti - Michal (DJ Vanjee Remix), 18. Benyamin Brody, Diwon & Dugans - Yehi Razton (final prayer)


SHIR HA SHIRIM- Brody, Diwon & Dugans

The music mixes the emotive Moroccan singing of Benyamin Brody in a "call out" to the most high, through the writings and poetry of King Solomon, with Diwon's and Dugans' signature walls of sound that bring hip hop, rock, and mizrachi influences to this middle eastern meditative record.


DIWON - Sabra Sessions Vol. 1

A high energy Israeli dance club hip hop influenced mix. Diwon, remixes, chops up, slows down, speeds up, and sampling all types of sounds to create a seamless mix of seemingly disjointed tracks that sound like Israel landed on top of Daft Punk & M.I.A.'s
