Time-Out choice of the week - Dekel Bor feat. Nir Naaman tour of Israel

***The wed. night show in Ramat Aviv is sold-out - still tickets for the jerusalem and tel-aviv shows

  
"we spent our teenage years listening to obscure jazz tapes together.
since then nir developed an emotional soundworld all his own.

out of all cultural events in Israel this week Time-Out chose to include us in it's recommendations for the week - while i would recommend going to see the exhibition "Metushelach" or the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra playing Verdi's requiem.
still we are honored to be in such company.

i am really looking forward to the shows."

for two pieces Dekel will have the pleasure of his father Alon Bor joining on marimba:

"Preparing for the festival leg of the tour in May my dad and I played three long duo sessions at my parent's house. These sessions have been very intimate and emotional for the both of us.

Right after the festival tour we wanted to continue with a short, intimate duo tour, which will happen sometime next year. till then I'll have to wait for this special one night this July..."

2011-2012!

2011 has been an incredible year for Dekel  - from a packed-houses trio tour featuring Maor Cohen,
to the paris jazz festival, from an intimate duet with palestinian vocalist Mira Awad to playing for thousands of people at the August people's rights rallies.
Deke performed throughout November with Rea Mochiach,
and ended the year with a sold-out festival concert in Petach-Tikva on the last week of 2011.



Dekel will begin the new year with an 8 concert-hall tour throughout Israel which will focus on Bach's iconic repertoire,
featuring Dekel's new trio with legendary israeli drummer/producer Rea Mochiach.

In april Dekel will premiere a new orchestral project with the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, featuring it's key soloists and a very special rock star..



In May Dekel will celebrate his birthday with a series of concerts with special guests from the jazz and ethnic worlds.

The trio will be back in Europe both in July and in October.



Dekel's signature TWE Overdrve pedal will be released just in time for the summer,
and we hope the prototype of his signature guitar will be ready for the Bach Tour.

We thank you for the support, and we can't wait to meet you after the concert!
