Victoria Hanna launched her debut\u00a0album on Thursday, May 11, 2017 in a festive concert at Tsavta, with very special guests: \u00a0Shai Tsabari and the Piyyut Ensemble. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MuperFOTO\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MUPERPHOTO<\/a> was there to capture the spirit of the evening with his wonderful photos &#8211; enjoy!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37093\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37093\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.midnighteast.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_8197-1000x656.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-37093 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.midnighteast.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_8197-1000x656.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midnighteast.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_8197-1000x656.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.midnighteast.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_8197-1000x656-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.midnighteast.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_8197-1000x656-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.midnighteast.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_8197-1000x656-640x420.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.midnighteast.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_8197-1000x656-980x643.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Victoria Hanna\/Photo: MUPERPHOTO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Born with a stutter, Victoria Hanna turned the impediment into an advantage, investigating the work of producing sound, experimenting with the possibilities of the mouth and vocal chords, as well as taking apart language and sounds to create new experiences, sensations, and meaning.

Here&#8217;s the video and a re-posting of my comments on Aleph Bet:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bl1epz3tSSA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Victoria Hanna takes tradition for a spin and turns it into hip hop honey! Hanna connects to the Jewish tradition of learning and prayer, in her own revolutionary way. Boys were introduced to the study of the Hebrew letters and Torah at age three, given honey to symbolize the sweetness of learning Torah. Traditionally, there is significance to the physical manifestation of the letters, their shapes and sounds. All this is reflected in the video for the song, which incorporates the Hebrew alphabet and prayer. Yet while traditionally, historically, the Cheder was a boys-only domain, Hanna&#8217;s happening classroom of girls and her experimental approach to music is exhilarating, strange, joyous, funny and moving. It may make you feel the Hebrew language as never before.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Links: Victoria Hanna <a href=\"http:\/\/www.victoriahanna.net\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Hoshaana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MuperFOTO\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MUPERPHOTO<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victoria Hanna defies definitions, the vocal artist is a unique presence on the Israeli music scene, drawing on traditional Jewish texts in Hebrew and Aramaic to create her own innovative, radical, sound.
