Noga Ritter is a London-based singer-songwriter, bandleader and workshop leader whose music blends Hebrew jazz with global grooves. In her songs, which she sings in both Hebrew and English, she weaves intimate and personal stories into compelling lyrics about social and global issues. On her new album, Noga brings Hebrew back to its original nomadic context, tracing the influences of her upbringing, travels and encounters. Imagine soaring trumpet solos over Gnawa grooves, Jewish melodies backed by Senegalese sabar drums and blissful kora (West African harp) improvisations alongside Israeli jazz piano subtleties.
