Tsuzamen

Tsuzamen — Yiddish for “together” — is a new Madison-area group that describes itself as “a world music band with a Jewish vibe.” They draw on traditions from around the globe, whether playing originals or some of the oldest music known. Electrified by Eleanor Mayerfeld’s lead vocals, powered by Bruce Silverman’s drumming, connected to the Earth by Samantha Bosco’s bass, sent aloft with Meg Lamm’s violin and Dan Grabois’s French horn, and melded together with Michael Bell’s guitar and mandolin, their music uplifts, reaches out, and exhilarates.
