Yagel Harush is an Israeli musician and performer whose work beautifully intertwines the traditional melodies of his heritage with contemporary sounds and compositions. Though not a mainstream icon, Harush has carved out a niche for himself within the world of ethnic and world music, particularly drawing upon the rich traditions of Moroccan Jewish music. He has a talent for creating evocative soundscapes that pay homage to past generations while also appealing to modern listeners.

Harush's portfolio demonstrates a profound connection to his cultural roots, as apparent in projects like "קינות יהודי מרוקו (Kinot Yehudei Maroko)," where he taps into the plaintive liturgical poems and laments of Moroccan Jews. His performances, such as "כתר מלכות לאבן גבירול (Keter Melukhot Le'Ibn Gabirol)" and its live rendition at the Oud Festival, showcase his dedication to bringing the essence of medieval Hebrew poetry to life with contemporary flair. Revisit the poetic grace of acclaimed Jewish poets through Harush's melodies in "אעירה שחר (E’ira Shahar)" and "אלף צעיפים (Alef Tza'ifim)," which elegantly combine musical profundity with spiritual yearning, reflecting the duality of human emotion that transcends time and place.
