Underground Kabbalah Project

The UNDERGROUND KABBALAH PROJECT is a one of a kind musical collective. They are Hasidic Jews and life long students of Kabbalah by day, and incredibale artists by night. Noiyam Ha Shirmacher has described the groups sound as "a kind of ElectroPop with big splashes of BreaksHip Hop n Drum n Bass, mixed with psycho horn playing and catchy

melodies.imagine if Basement Jaxx, Charles Mingus , MC Skibadee and Giora Feidman had a baby together - thats us."



Members identities are kept anonymous to protect their families and themselves from some close minded pockets of the Ultra-Orthodox community which do not approve of the UKP. The groups beatmaker Noiyam Ha Shirmacher said in interview with the Canadian Press.

"many (orthodox jews) get offended by it. You know we use drum machines, turntables, synthesizers. We bust rhymes and breakdance. Its just not understood by the community as being a legitimate pursuit". Checkout the full article at http://www.cjnews.com/viewarticle.asp?id=9055
