"Bei Mir Bistu Sheyn" (To me you are beautiful) - the title of the famous Yiddish song perfectly describes the flair of the trio 'Elias and the Yiddish Maidels': three musicians who accept and celebrate each other with all their differences and unique strengths. Shira Karmon, a classical and jazz singer with Israeli and Jewish roots, Clara Montocchio, a jazz singer and singer-songwriter from Vienna with South African roots, and Elias Meiri, a native Israeli and proven jazz pianist with strong Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences, present a selection of old-fashioned Yiddish hits, traditional Hebrew folk songs and original compositions. The resulting amalgam of styles captivates with groovy rhythms, swinging melodies and meditative, sometimes melancholy moods, which at the same time are completely devoid of pathos.
