Consisting of four dynamic singer-songwriters and recording artists -- Basya Schechter (Brooklyn), Ayelet Rose Gottlieb (Israel), Malika Zarra (Morocco) and Sophia Rei (Argentina) -- this female a capella quartet performs a repertoire of Jewish art and liturgical songs. Singing lyrics in Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic drawn from Rumi, Fernando Pessoa, Heraclitus, The Hebrew Bible and more, these expressive and passionate artists first came together in 2011 with a recording produced by John Zorn.
