Composer, drummer, flutist and vocalist, Bar draws on Biblical and modern Israeli themes for his original music. "With the oriental approach to art," says Bar, "there has to be continuity between past and present. In my music I try to create this bond to be a link in the chain connecting my parents to my children." Bar has composed music for several theatrical productions, including Joshua Sobol's Kriza (Crisis) and War of the Jews, and Gabriel Bensimhon's A Moroccan King. As a musician, Bar has collaborated successfully with various singers of both Middle Eastern and Western influence, including David Da'or, Etty Ankari, Yehoram Gaon, Ehud Banai, Meir Banai, Yehudit Ravitz, Rita, Greek star Glykeria, and Israeli Arab singer Amal Murkus.. |
