Based in France, Zakarya is one of the most exciting and cutting edge bands working in the ever-growing community of Radical Jewish Culture. Always thought provoking, their fourth CD for Tzadik presents an imaginary film score about the life and thought of Martin Behaim, the 15th century cosmograph/converso who was the first to represent the world as a sphere. Blending new music, klezmer, rock and jazz in their inimitable "klezmer jazzcore" style, this is more madness from one of
France's most creative young bands.
