Silk Road - Yaribon
Is a collaboration between Orchid Ensemble and media artists Aleksandra Dulic and Kenneth Newby. The work grew out of Orchid Ensemble's CD publication Road To Kashgar: Yaribon is one of the songs on the CD.
In the 10th Century, a number of Persian Jews traveled through the Silk Road to settle in Kaifeng, central China. The community they founded still survives today observing Jewish holidays and customs. This arrangement of an Ashkenazi sacred song is a contemporary tribute to the fusing of these cultures.
