The impetus for recording our 2nd album occurred in 2016 after the devastating results of the US presidential election. We felt that we had something to say and that the world needed an all-female Middle Eastern Jewish album that celebrated what connects us, rather than what tears us apart. We titled the album “Shalhevet” (flame) because we hoped that we could offer some light amidst the sometimes darker world we find ourselves in. We had no idea we would be releasing the album amidst a global pandemic but hope that our music offers some light to during this time.
