About Me

Le groupe Lahaka a été formé en 2005 par le flutist / saxophoniste new-yorkais Joshua Levitt. Lahaka est une rencontre musicale liant entre elles deux grandes traditions: celle de la musique orientale avec ses rythmes et ses timbres, et celle du jazz avec ses harmonies et ses improvisations. Lahaka doit sa saveur à la présence d’instruments acoustiques particulièrement mis en valeur, tels que le nay (flûte orientale) et le oud (luth) et qui tous deux contribuent à un subtil mélange des genres. Les compositions sont basées sur des modes et des rythmes traditionnels avec une ouverture sur les musiques actuelles. Ainsi Lahaka, espère offrir à ses auditeurs un répertoire à la fois original et authentique. Tous les membres de ce groupe sont des musiciens confirmés issus des milieux du jazz et de la musique orientale.} Lahaka is a project formed by Nayati / Saxophonist Joshua Levitt, who relocated from New York to Paris in 2001. The group plays original compositions which are based around the sound of the Nai (flute) and Oud (lute), accompanied by jazz harmonies on the piano and doublebass. The recent addition of a second percussionist creates a rich rythmic sound based around traditional rhythms from the middle east and north africa. ------------------------------------------Peace and Blessings-------------Joshua's selected discography --- } Meta - Epigram 2007 } Elie Maalouf - Through Life } Toufic Farroukh – Tootya 2007 } Maurice Sellem – Violon Magique 2006 } Amos Hoffman - Naama 2006 } Faudel - Un Autre Soleil 2005 } Avishai Cohen - Devotion 2001 } Omer Avital - Think With your Heart 2001 } Daniel Friedman - Daniel Friedman Trio 2002 } John Arnold - Native Beauty (w/ Gary Thomas, Larry Goldings) 2000
