A cross between the Indigo Girls, Matisyahu and Ani Defranco, Chana Rothman is rocking the Limmud UK community. We can't wait for you to see her at the Atlanta+SE Limmud on March 21st on the green at Ogelthorpe. I had the pleasure of seeing her perform tonight and I was blown away. Chana has a style that captures and engages her audience and she glows with a neshama that had everyone mesmorized. As the show progressed, Chana had everyone dancing with a mix of regggae and rap influenced with a Hebrew vibe. Chana was joined by Coolooloosh from Israel which added an intense percusion and wind section and the whole place was rocking. Chana sings her own original music influenced by her adolescent experinces and her current life in Brooklyn. She also brings a new energy to some of the Jewish music so many of us love. Chana describes herself as a music teacher and her sessions here at Limmud have been about making your own music. I have not been to one of her sessions but those who have have given them rave reviews.
