Aviva Chernick & Jaffa Road

I had the distinct pleasure to listen to Aviva Chernick www.avivachernick.com a Canadian grown singer who sings in Hebrew and Spanish. Her powerful clear vocals are impressive and she is lead singer  of two time Juno Award nominated group Jaffa Road. The uniqueness of her style is the middle eastern and biblical based music, which she brings alive into modern North American culture. Her supporting musicians  play unique instruments such as the Ude, Sitar, flute and many different forms of guitar.



Here flute and vocal back up singer was Indian inspired to give her music a fusion between Sepharadic Moroccan and Mumbai India. She has a charming presence, and her roots are deep in Jewish culture as she sang song from King David's book of psalms, hymn 150.

In the words of Tom Allen of CBC Radio 2 " Aviva Chernick is a fearless musical adventurer. Her clear and persuasive voice takes us places we wouldn't know to go on our own".

Well worth the adventure to listen,


The Adventure Guy
