Think of this as a musical afikomen from JFNA and JDub to complete your Passover celebrations, and to say thank you for supporting our organizations. Here’s hoping the topics of these stellar songs — wine, the desert, journeys to foreign lands — puts you in a Passover state of mind while their beats put the songs on your personal playlists.

Tracklist:

1. The Sway Machinery- “Gawad Teriamou”
Documenting their remarkable journey as the only Jewish band to travel to Mali and perform at the Festival of the Desert, Jewish brass rock meets afro beat on THE HOUSE OF FRIENDLY GHOSTS, VOL 1.

2. DeLeon- “More than Wine”
Their music marries ancient Sephardic melodies sung in Ladino, Hebrew and English with the chaotic symphony of urban living. New album out June 14th!

3. Girls in Trouble- “I was a Desert”
Orchestral textures underlie moody art-pop songs about Biblical women: androgynous creation myths, jealous sisters and knife accidents. New album out May 17th!

4. Shotnez- “Baghdad”
From the founders of Balkan Beat Box, punk rock minimalism meets Middle Eastern complexities, with the gravity of a driving bass embracing all. New album out April 5th!

5. The Macaroons- “Seder Plate”
With big harmonies, irresistible melodies, and a fun loving guitar-based sound, The Macaroons are perfect for young ones and parents alike. Their debut album LET’S GO COCONUTS is available now!
