Did you enjoy The Idan Raichel Project? Come check out Etti Ankri in an evening of spiritual and ethnic Israeli music at its best!
Tuesday, April 8, 7:30 pm, Sixth & I Historic Synagogue, 600 I Street NW

"One of Israel's top and most famous female singers and songwriters."–Last.fm

“This wonderful album is finger-lickin’ good… [Ankri is] an original and moving songwriter... a talented composer and outstanding singer” –Moshe Goreli on Hameitav, NRG/Maariv (2005)

Hailed as a "rock genius" and the "Poet of Israeli Spirituality," Ankri achieved popularity first as a film and TV actress. Her first album was released in 1990 and won critical and popular acclaim. Since then, she has released six other albums. In 2005 Ankri came out with a greatest hits double album covering fifteen prolific years of exceptional musical achievement. As a lyricist and composer, her idiosyncratic work touches on contemporary social comment, feminist perspectives, and religious and kabalistic imagery.

"Etti's work makes a statement—female, personal and social—and is spiced with ethnic motifs. Listen to Ankri's pure and soulful voice combined with her sensitive and precise music…it all comes together…Ankri writes from a place of great love; a love of God, awe-inspiring, eternally wonderful." –Menachem Ben, Z'man Tel Aviv-Maariv (2004)
