Jerusalem is a city of layers, where the voices of the cultural giants who shaped us echo beneath the stones. The “Jerusalem Retro-Soul” project was born to shake the dust off these timeless national treasures and reveal the groove and soul that have always been embedded within them, through one-time concept performances that blend funk, soul, and spoken word.

On stage, an electric encounter will take place between prominent forces who disassemble and reassemble the classics:

The Slices: An instrumental funk ensemble. Yonatan Blumenfeld: Spoken word artist. Shir Shani: Soul singer. Yael Ariel: Singer-songwriter.

Acknowledgements and Partners: This project is the fruit of a shared vision and local initiative, which came to life thanks to our partners:

The Jerusalem Foundation: For their important support of the project and their tireless investment in cultivating culture and creators in the city.

Spectrum Live: For the platform, the connections, and the partnership in a home that serves as a pulsating artery for groundbreaking Jerusalem art.

Come discover the Israeli soundtrack anew. Classics with soul, Jerusalem with groove.
