Join the "Oneness" Journey: Support Sivan Arbel's New Album
Hello friends!
My name is Sivan Arbel, and I’m a vocalist and songwriter. I’m thrilled to share my new album, “Oneness,” with you! “Oneness” is a celebration of peace, love, and unity, inviting us all to embrace our uniqueness and differences. I would be honored if you helped me share the message of “Oneness” from my heart to other hearts ❤️
My Story
My musical journey began in a small village in Israel, where I cherished the beauty of diverse voices and cultures. This love for diversity led me to explore various musical genres, but it was the scat and songs of Ella Fitzgerald that sparked my deep passion for jazz. Determined to delve deeper, I studied at the Rimon School of Music near Tel Aviv before moving to New York City in 2014. In the vibrant melting pot of New York, I collaborated with artists from around the globe, continually growing by incorporating the city's rich sounds and cultural influences into my music.
I absorb new music techniques by soaking in diverse influences like a sponge and expressing them through my original and eclectic musical language. My performances captivate audiences with distinct rhythm, groove, and scat improvisation, all infused with dance. By blending the vibrant sounds of my New York community, I create a listening experience like no other, aiming to bring healing and connection to people from all walks of life through my music.
What is Oneness?
"Oneness" is a celebration of peace, love, and unity, inviting us to embrace our uniqueness and our differences. The album was born from my journey to deepen my relationship with the world around me. Over the past few years, I've witnessed troubling societal challenges leading to dangerous separation and division. I've felt how rules, borders, and ego often take precedence over recognizing our shared humanity.
This album is the culmination of remarkable artistic and spiritual growth after a decade in New York City. Arriving in 2014 with a dream and an open mind, I couldn't have anticipated the profound impact the city's diverse magic would have on my musical development. The pandemic, despite its hardships, became a period of introspection and community bonding, revealing that my creative nourishment lay within my amazing band and Brooklyn community. Amongst them is one of my dearest friends Bansuri flutist Jay Gandhi. Jay’s immersion in Classical Indian Traditions helped discover a new musical language that thoroughly nourished my soul. The music has many tantalizing echos from our studies. Although my music has extensively contained exciting flashes of Brazilian, Moroccan, African, and Indian influence, "Oneness" allowed the influence of these cultural nexuses to permeate into a new dynamic landscape. "Oneness" captures these soundscapes and reflections, celebrating our uniqueness and the beauty within us all.
Meet the Band
I’m grateful to have my band on this album—Nick Hetko, Sam Weber, and Evan Hyde, who I’ve been making music with since 2016! We’re also featuring amazing special guests who are part of my NYC community: Jay Gandhi on the classical Indian bansuri flute and Tripp Dudley, one of the most incredible percussionists in the city. Together, we’ve created something truly special.
I'm also honored to feature the magical voices of Aubrey Johnson and Daniel Fresco.
