Old-world cabaret collides with modernity in this sui generis ensemble whose mysterious, otherworldly soundscape draws on European folksong, post-war classical, and experimental rock. Barbez will be celebrating the release of a new 7-inch vinyl called Elegy for Gaza (Avant Night), a heart-wrenching plea for peace in Gaza and the group’s first new release in seven years. Barbez has released six previous albums, including Force of Light (Tzadik), an homage to the great poet Paul Celan; Bella Ciao (Tzadik), a reimagining of ancient Roman Jewish melodies; and For Those Who Came After (Important Records), a live rendering of the songs of the Spanish Civil War.
