A Babylonian Jewish chant has revived and turned out to be a Youtube hit (over 8M views) thanks to Yamma ensemble from Israel. Their outstanding performance to the forgotten Jewish Babylonian version of Psalms 104, became the most viewed video of a live performance of a Jewish traditional chant.
This is just a single case out of numerous songs, chants and tunes that must be heard, spread and shared internationally.
Providing digital tools, platforms and support for groups that perform and record Jewish music is highly necessary.
By recording ancient Jewish chants that were almost forgotten, researching the old biblical Jewish instruments & texts and bringing them on stage, preserving old Jewish languages and traditions and having these treasures online, accessible to all people, and listeners. Millions of views, thousands of comments from around the world, discussions and conversations by listeners who are Muslims, Christians and Jews and countless touching thankful words prove how much this work of art is needed.
