https://songwhip.com/moshesobolband/geula-vision For bookings: 516-457-5390 msobol@komitoms.com Marlon “Moshe” Sobol is a professional musician, drummer, percussionist, Board Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC), and Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) in the state of New York. Sobol’s musical pedigree runs in the family. His father was a master clarinetist, concert producer, and educator and his mother is a concert pianist and teacher who continues to make contributions to the field of music education for special learners. Moshe Sobol has had a fruitful career playing drums and percussion with legendary musicians from Richie Havens(Woodstock 69), David Amram, and Candido Camero, to contemporary artists including Matisyahu, Zion 80, Eitan Katz, Zusha, and more. He first started musically exploring his Jewish roots with his band "Shem's Disciples" from 2007-2011. And now, the “Moshe Sobol Band" is combining genres from Jazz to Hip Hop to Afro-Caribbean music into a presentation of deeply rooted Torah ideals with sounds, rhythms, melodies, and chants from the Middle East to New York, that will bring the ancient Hebrew texts to full vitality! The first track to the album is "Moshe N’viecha". This song is a declaration that states, “Moses, Your Prophet as it is written in Your Torah.” It grooves on Moshe and evokes a sense of ideological foundational pride in being rooted in the words of Torah through Moses. It then brings the pasuk, "Velo Kam Navi Od, B' Yisrael K Moshe Asher Yidao Hashem Panim El Panim". This statement declares that there has never arisen a prophet in Israel like Moshe that knew Hashem face to face.The word Panim(face) is connected to the word panimius(internal). Just like the face represents what is going on inside a person. Moshe knew Hashem on the deepest level. The 3rd part of the song hopes to evoke a sense of mystery on what that might mean. Geula Vision is the debut album from the Moshe Sobol Band, led by the versatile multi-instrumentalist and composer. Sobol is featured prominently on the marimba, a large West African wooden percussion instrument played with mallets; he also sings and plays various percussion instruments on the album. The music is deeply rooted in the Jewish experience, going all the way back to the multisensory, mystical workings of the ancient Temple in Jerusalem. With lyrics in both Hebrew and English, Geula Vision covers wide musical and spiritual ground, blending the sounds of New York’s Jazz, Hip hop, Latin and African musical communities into a story covering everything from an ancient text about the ingredients of the Temple incense mixture (‘Incense’) to the yearning for the redemption of humanity embodied in the words of the prophet Isaiah (‘House of Prayer’). The album features a stellar lineup of musicians including Erik Lawrence (Levon Helm), Steven Bernstein ,Joey Cavaseno (Illinois Jacquet, Yalloppin Hounds), Shlomo Gaisin (Zusha), and Jon Madof (Zion 80).
