karov
Karov, Batya Levine’s debut album of original music, is available wherever you get your music.
Karov is a collection of songs born of yearning, connection, and prayer. These songs are for falling in tears, drawing close, and dancing with ancestors.
“One of my favorite albums of the year, Batya Levine’s debut is an ensnaring work of melody and rhythm. Brilliantly innovative while referencing Chassidic liturgical form as a primary ancestor, Batya brings the beat back to modern Jewish liturgical music. Rhythmic, catchy melodies weave through the whole project, and are the backbone of every track. ”

“When Batya sings, my heart feels as if it is being moved inside my chest. Their melodies are rich, musically compelling and inhabited by the tonal legacy of her ancestors. They lead large and small groups in the singing of these songs, guiding people to find their way within, to find their own heart moving. Each group is mesmerized and they follow Batya willingly, opening mouths, softening hearts and strengthening a feeling of connectedness. Batya is a potent leader and an important voice. I am honoured and delighted to walk beside them.”
