Jacob's Ladder festival draws international musicians
Haaretz - May 9, 2008
Jacob's Ladder, the biannual music festival also known as the Anglo mimouna,
will open Thursday on the Kinneret for a three-day, extended celebration of
Irish, bluegrass, country, folk and blues. The Abrams Brothers, a pair of
teenage bluegrass gospel musicians who made their Israel debut at the
festival last year, will be returning from Canada this year. Other
performers from abroad include Grammy nominated folk singer 'SONiA,' who is
arriving from the U.S., as well American soul singer Utah Green and British
folk singer Pete Morton.
Other returning staples include American-Israeli folk singer Sandy Cash, the
Arava Riders from Kibbutz Ketura, musician Bracha Ben-Avraham and
singer-songwriting team Larry Fogel and Mindy Burns.
The weekend, which includes some 45 musical performances, also features
dance workshops, a children's clown, yoga, holistic treatments and an Irish
pub. Jacob's Ladder, founded in 1978 and produced by U.K.-born Menachem and
Yehudit Vinegrad, is said to be among the largest annual gatherings of
Anglos in Israel.
