Biography

Forgiveness was conceived and created in the early 1990's in NYC, by Israeli artists Alon Cohen and Rea Mochiach. The album blends the ancient Yom Kippur prayers of the Sephardic Jews with riveting soundscapes of electronic dance and ambient music. These same prayers have been chanted for 2000 years. The voices are culled from Jerusalem's finest cantors and the lush, dynamic sounds created by Alon and Rea are at different points breathtaking, beautiful, powerful and hypnotic. They managed to truly capture the intensity of the sacred holy-day and the awe it instills in the penitent. The record is nothing short of ground-breaking and will remain a classic for years and years to come. Alon Cohen was a founding member and drummer of the seminal Israeli rock band The Top Hat Carriers / Nosay HaMigbaat. The producer of Hasidic reggae star Matisyahu's first album Shake off The Dust Arise, the up-and-coming Hasidic hip-hop duo Ta-Shma, Y-Love and others. He is the creative vision behind Jewish production crew 12 Tribe Sound. Rea Mochiach is renowned Israeli Jazz drummer and producer, worked with artist like David Byrne, Bari Sahrov and others. Rea is currently on tour with Gogoburdelo.
