NOGA RITTER QUARTET (Live), Band on stage around 9pm, performing 2 live sets
Noga Ritter is an eclectic singer-songwriter, band leader and workshop facilitator whose music fuses Hebrew Jazz with global grooves. Her songs, sung in both Hebrew and English, weave intimate and personal stories into a potent narrative of social-global issues. Her performances, whether in stripped-down formats or her full 9-piece band, are as passionate as they are energetic; getting any audience to dance and join in on her soulful journey.
"An immensely promising debut and dizzyingly diverse listen that incorporates textures from all cultures; on this evidence, Ritter is a writer of serious potential ****" JAZZWISE
"Irresistible sound, music that defies any musical genres" John Osborne, JAZZ FM
"With a sound ranging from delicate to lavish and full, we are treated to a heady mix of jazz, kora, Moroccan Gnawa rhythms and Senegalese sabra" SONGLINES
" With a big band and an undeniable vocal conviction, Noga's ecstatic stage performance tempts audiences to give their bodies to a unifying diasporic journey in dance and rhythm." Rebecca Lea Mastrorocco, Rhythm Passport.
Noga released her debut solo album in May 2023 with Galileo Music. The album, recorded last summer and supported by the Arts Council England and Help Musicians UK, features 14 incredible musicians including the award-winning artists Seckou Keita on Kora, Byron Wallen on trumpet, Tony Kofi on saxophone and produced by Liran Donin.
In her new album, Noga brings Hebrew to its original nomadic context, tracing influences from her upbringing, travels and encounters. Imagine soaring trumpet solos over Gnawa grooves, Jewish melodies backed with Senegalese Sabar drums and blissful kora (west African harp) improvising alongside Israeli jazz piano subtleties. These are just some of the colours Noga used to paint her musical stories in this remarkable body of work.
