The Reggae master from Adonai in Dub returns to Tzadik with another fascinating program of Jewish music—Reggae style. Feast of the Passover is a collection of songs commonly sung during the Passover seder and features many of David’s longtime associates, the critically-acclaimed Romanian saxophone player Yuri Yunakov, the legendary Leonard “Sparrow” Dillon (of the Ethiopians) and the Silvertones on vocals. Incredibly varied and spiritually inspired music connecting the Rasta and Jewish traditions through the miracle of music, this is the perfect background to anyone’s 21st century seder.
