About
Noga Ritter is a London-based singer-songwriter, band leader, and workshop facilitator whose music blends Hebrew Jazz with global grooves. With songs sung in both Hebrew and English, she weaves intimate and personal stories into a compelling narrative of social-global issues. In her new album, Noga brings Hebrew to its original nomadic context, tracing influences from her upbringing, travels and encounters. Imagine soaring trumpet solos over Gnawa grooves, Jewish melodies backed with Senegalese Sabar drums and blissful kora (west African harp) improvising alongside Israeli jazz piano subtleties. These are just some of the colours Noga used to paint her musical stories in this remarkable body of work.

Musically, this makes for a dizzyingly diverse listen, but thanks to the individual skills of the musicians Ritter has marshalled, as well as her overarching vision as a leader, it all hangs together rather well.
