Acoustic-eclectic-ambient-folk-ethnic-world-roots music with hints of jazz, Middle East blends, further East mantras and sometimes driving rhythms and sometimes gentle sounds.
Beautiful progressive guitar-driven grooves fuse jazz, folk, rock and world rhythms & strong expressive vocals to create a wealth of unique "free-verse" style award-winning songs.
RAHEL is a singer-songwriter with a wide range of instrumental guitar & vocal music especially suited to any occasion and venue. Her musical versatility highlights a magnificent repertoire of melodic guitar finger styles and a myriad of genres from renaissance, classical “light”, Celtic, romantic Spanish, world and contemporary styles to country, blues and ragtime, pop, new age, jazz, a wide selection of oldies, children's tunes and some fast driving rock & funk selections. RAHEL absolutely loves busking (street performing) where she can meet and mingle with all the people of the world inspiring smiles and joy with her beautiful music.
RAHEL has been playing guitar since she was 14. Early influences from the American folk music revival of the ‘60's and the ‘70's Woodstock era combine with a wealth of world traditions, sounds and rhythms that have become integral to Rahel’s hypnotic sound. Rahel grew up in 1960’s New England surrounded by the beautiful finger styles of James Taylor and Paul Simon, the perfect synchronicity of Peter Paul & Mary, the complex simplicity of Bob Dylan's prolific social commentary, the open tunings of Mary McCaslin and Joni Mitchell and the exquisite vocal harmonies & creative meanderings of Crosby Stills & Nash. She learned their music and then created her own. The psychedelic sounds of the 1970's, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin and Santana fed more fuel to her fire. World travels and living in Israel tuned Rahel's musical ears to a fusion of diverse multi-cultural blends of Jewish, Israeli, Middle Eastern rhythms and an array of world roots sounds that can be heard in Rahel's music today.
