Barak Grossberg (30), singer-songwriter, guitarist and rocker repents, presents a new and third single from a new album, this time hosting the world flutist and singer Avi Piamenta (65).
The story of the two is interesting and unique, on the one hand - Barak's father, the legendary rock producer Shaul Grossberg produced Piamenta in the 70's, and on the other hand - precisely when Barak searched for the essence of life in Tel Aviv's nightlife, he was exposed to Judaism. Heard from outside when he performed at the Chabad House in central Tel Aviv, Barak recognized my father's music and went inside. That evening, Barak's view of the ultra-Orthodox world changed from end to end and he began the process of repentance as a result.
The new song "OMG" is a much more exciting and light rock ballad compared to the previous songs released by Barak, the content of the song together with the invested clip produced by Yanki Elharar, tells the story of the two. The berries.
Avi Piamenta is a veteran and esteemed musician and flutist who has written many songs, some of which are popular and played to this day.
The son of the late former member of the Mossad, Yehuda Piamte, he is known in Israel and abroad mainly from the band "Piamenta" that Barak's father led at the beginning of their journey.
From the 70's he started playing with his brother, who was a well-known guitarist - the late Yossi Piamenta, the two also played with Zvika Pick, Stan Getz (world saxophone player) in military bands and later repented, in huge shows in America with Avraham Fried, Matisyahu, Mordechai Ben David and more, in Israel he collaborated with Yishai Ribo and Ariel Zilber
Barak Grossberg is a fascinating combination of the sacred and the profane.
He was born in Tel Aviv into a secular home, in which rock 'n' roll was the second language. Piamenta, Manny Beger, etc. About ten years ago he repented.
Grossberg began playing at the age of 12 following guitarist Jimmy Hendrix and at the age of 15 performed on big stages at various events produced by his father, even then he met the flutist and singer Avi Piamenta.
After the two moved, each separately, to the ultra-Orthodox world, they met by chance at the Lubavitcher Rebbe's seminary, the 770th building in New York and from there continued on a common path that led to this very special single, a particularly original love song for the Creator.
Today, Barak plays with some of the greatest artists in Israel alongside his many performances in various settings, usually in Chabad houses around the country in a combined show with his moving personal story. To the world out of a desire to change misconceptions.
