| much is made about the lack of originality in music. everything has been done, and done to death people decry. this is a very modern attitude, and perhaps more than a bit flawed. music has always been a continuum. styles and traditions are passed from one generation to the next to be cherished, replicated, altered or reinvented. just as one individual looks to another for identity and support, so one song looks to the last for meaning; a place in the grand structure.
noa babayof does what many before her have done. she is a folk musician in the singer-songwriter tradition. she pays homage here, stretches boundaries there, and most often plays within the structures formed by the greats that preceded her. this in itself is not an easy task. very few have what it takes to make it on a stage where what separates the weak from the strong is neither record sales nor charisma, but the greatness of the songs. this is something, im sure, noa is reminded of each time she picks up her guitar to meet the challenge.
noa babayof is an israeli native. she will spend the next year in the united states touring in support of the north american release of from a window to a wall. noa records and performs in english. noa will be releasing a video single directed by festivals alexis powell and greg weeks. weeks produced and arranged the album.
