And in doing so, to captivate an equally wide range of audiences, offering them a refreshing mix of familiar and brand new.
The cast fully reflects this diversity: Savannah (vocals) is a vivacious opera-trained jazz singer from Australia, Shaemus (bagpipes) was instructed
by some of the best pipers in Scotland, Jenia Fab (violin) received a meticulous musical education in St. Petersburg, Xachi (drums) performed all over
Europe with a renowned Israeli orchestra and Ramy (bass) is a self-taught musician and a devoted flower-child.
Xamavar's music is conceived by Jenia 'J. Grand', who possesses an incredible flare for originality in composition and a strong affinity with the adventurous and unexpected.
The lyrics are jointly crafted by Shaemus and Savannah, both gifted poets and daring artisans of the English language.
