Shlomo Bar

Shlomo Bar is the leader and moving spirit of Habrera Hativeet. Composer, soloist, drummer, vocalist and founder of Habrera Hativeet, Bar was born in Rabat, Morocco, in 1943. He draws much of his musical inspiration from Biblical and modern Israeli themes. On stage, Bar captivates his audience first by a steady beat on the drums, and then by drawing the other musicians into instrumental and vocal harmony. He arranges and composes most of the group's songs and plays drums and flute - all accompanied by a voice that comes from deep within his soul. "With the oriental approach to art," says Bar,"there has to be continuity between past and present. In my music I try to create this bond to be a link in the chain connecting my parents to my children."
