Tinges of reggae, worldbeat, folk, and hip-hop infuse Chana Rothman’s Hebrew-English tunes with rhythm and positive vibes. After trekking the Himalayas with a guitar strapped to her back, Chana settled in Brooklyn and began writing songs that reflected her mountain-turned-urban polyethnic lifestyle. Her debut album, “We Can Rise,” (Oyhoo Records) was voted “Best Album of 2007” by jewschool.com and she was recently featured in “Top 5 Women Who Rock” by American Jewish Life and Lilith Magazine. She plays regularly in New York – Highline Ballroom, Knitting Factory – and tours summer camps and clubs throughout North America, Israel, & the United Kingdom from BBYO and NFTY Conventions to Limmud UK. Two years as Union for Reform Judaism Kutz Camp Co-Head Songleader helped Chana develop a passion for music as a tool to bring communities together. The result is an uplifting, highly participatory live performance. Chana recently performed with Israeli sensations HaBanot Nechama. HaDag Nachash, and Koolooloosh. Chana’s music is available on iTunes, Amazon.com, and in stores. www.chanarothman.com
