Hal Aqua and The Lost Tribe play klezmer/Yiddish fusion music — an exuberant musical experience, rooted firmly in traditional Jewish modes and melodies and driven by contemporary rhythms and danceable grooves.
The versatile musicians who make up The Lost Tribe have a deep respect for their source material, from the evocative tunes of Eastern European Jews and Roma to the sinuous rhythms of the Middle East and Mediterranean. The Lost Tribe’s performances are an eclectic mix of traditional klezmer and Yiddish songs along with lively fusion tunes with reggae, funk, and hip-hop influences.
