RBCS About us

The vocal-instrumental ensemble REBELCANTISSIMO derives not only its name, but also a certain specific way of interpretation from its mother ensemble REBELCANTO. Being professional musicians - singers or players on various instruments - gives them broad spectrum of expression. Their Jewish songs originate from different sources and regions: Israeli songs with lyrics in Hebrew, songs from the German environment in Yiddish and - their most favorite - mediaeval Sephardic songs of Spanish Jews in the language called Ladino. These songs were for centuries shared only by oral tradition, which naturally gives great space for fantasy. Rebelcantissimo interpretation of Jewish songs tells about the way how the young musicians feel the deliverance at the beginning of the third millenium. They take the spell of exotic rhythms and melodies, adorned with wise and poetic lyrics, and try to build the bridges from the ancient past to the hearts of contemporary listeners.
