Canadian-raised, Brooklyn-and-Philadelphia-based Rothman approaches music as a dialogue. “It’s two-way,” she explains, “We each have a role to play in creating the dynamic.”
Rothman’s music, using two languages and ancient texts to address social ills and joys of today, brings a universal appeal. “Rothman’s music bubbles with a conscious vibe that’s capable of bringing people together,” writes Richard Antone of Elmore Magazine, “She is adept at using religious imagery and bilingual lyrics as a bridge rather than a wedge.”
Tinges of reggae, worldbeat, folk, and hip-hop infuse Chana’s Hebrew-English tunes with rhythm and positive vibes. Chana’s music has earned a growing pile of accolades: New York Times called her River-to-River show “worth checking out” and The Jewish Week gave her debut cd, We Can Rise (Oyhoo Records), four stars. Popsyndicate.com calls her music “Bob Marley meets Edie Brickell.” Chana works with Storahtelling and independently in camps, synagogues, churches across the country bringing relevant social commentary & empowerment through a musical lens. She recently returned from several community-based tours: in South Africa, combining justice work in townships with live performances, and in Berlin, presenting and performing for progressive European Jewish communities from across the continent. Chana’s most recent accomplishment is the birth of her son, Izzy, and her entry into momhood. Her music is on iTunes, Amazon.com, last.fm and more. Stay tuned for her new album, produced by C Lanzbom, “Beautiful Land,” a mix of African worldbeat, acoustic folk, and groove.
