These days Talia’s original songs weave together her family traditions of activism, humor and Jewish culture. Talia’s songs poke fun at cliches and expose realities, with tones ranging from full on sassy and humorous, to politically contemplative, to love songs with a twist. In addition to her own music, Talia sings with the internationally renowned Jewish women’s acapella group Vocolot. 4:00pm Babel / Ashkenaz Frank London (of the Grammy-winning group the Klezmatics) and Yair Dalal (Israeli violinist and oud master of Iraqi background) bring together Eastern and Western Jewish liturgical traditions, with percussionist Dror Sinai, bassist Emmanuel Mann, and special guest vocalist Jewlia Eisenberg.
