About this episode
How do you turn 2,000-year-old prayers into modern hits?
For the 100th episode of Jewish Insights, Justin sits down with the world-renowned Hasidic folk-rock duo, Zusha. Shlomo Gaisin and Zachariah Goldschmiedt open up about their journey from wordless niggunim to electronic soundscapes, and the "idol smashing" required to keep their art authentic.
In this episode:
-
The Creative Process: How Zusha bridges the gap between the ancient and the modern.
-
The Evolution: Moving from folk melodies to atmospheric electronic music.
-
God's Voice: Bringing God into their lyrics.
