Good news for the fans of Jewish creation – the Jewish music is climbing one step higher.
\nUpon the launching of the full album by Eliad Eliyahu – “The Shining Light of the Sky”, one
\ncan determine that we are dealing with a rare and magical combination of quality music that
\nis well positioned between the Israeli mainstream and the ethnic rhythm. In the new album,
\nEliad combines vocal parts with original personal lyrics together with religious and Biblical
\ntexts.<\/p>\n
Eliad Eliyahu has created a unique style that enables him to put the personal tone in all of
\nhis songs. The songs deal with “a man walking on this Earth” theme, and in the delicate
\nconnection between man and God. His texts are kicking and entering your soul, and they are
\nthere to stay.<\/p>\n
The work on the album was not a short one. The materials for the album were carefully
\ncollected and selected over 3 years, very close to the launching of his first album which was
\ncalled “Eli – Eli”. Last month, Eliad Eliyahu has retuned from a trip to the Jewish communities
\nin the USA. One of the flights was cancelled and Eliad found himself stuck at the airport for
\nfifteen hours. “Instead of feeling down,” says Eliad, “I took out my guitar and wrote a new
\nsong for the third album.” Eventually the new song was launched in front of a group of
\nJapanese tourists in Atlanta. “I write my songs everywhere. Every moment has a good
\npotential for writing a song because each moment has its own tremendous meaning,” he
\nexplains his method, “and I like to sit in front of the sea and make the music float,” (taken
\nfrom song number 7).<\/p>\n
Eliad Eliyahu, a newly religious Jew, was born and still resides in the city of Acre, the city of
\nthe sea and the walls. “The place where I live with all its beauty, its ancient Jewish
\ntraditions, and the challenges in the mission of living in a mixed city, having both Jewish and
\nArabic population define my personality and my creation.”<\/p>\n
