Go to a Jewdyssee show and be prepared for something uniquely different. They'll hit you with jazz, swing and pop from one side and folksy Yiddish music from the other. This fusion explodes from the speakers in a wonderfully eclectic club sound that sends the audience to its feet in a hurry. Just another Jewish band you say? This German duo is out to prove you wrong. Bio: Born to a German Jewish mother and an Israeli father, Maya Saban has been fine-tuning her exquisite vocal chords from the age of 7. After establishing herself in the Berlin music scene, she sought to connect her musical world with her strong Jewish roots. Enter Walera Goodman; a non-Jewish Russian bandleader turned DJ who put his beats to Maya's lyrics, creating the distinctive Jewdyssee sound. (source: leadel.net)
