Zusha

Zusha is a New York-based band known for blending traditional Hasidic nigunim (wordless melodies) with modern musical influences like jazz, soul, and folk. Formed in 2013 by Shlomo Gaisin, Zachariah Goldschmiedt, and originally Elisha Mlotek, the group quickly gained attention for their spiritually uplifting sound and heartfelt live performances. Singing primarily in Hebrew, their music taps into deep Jewish mystical traditions while also feeling fresh and universally resonant.

Zusha's debut self-titled EP made waves in the Jewish music scene in 2014, and they followed up with full-length albums like "Kavana" and "When the Sea Splits." Their songs, such as "Kadosh Kadosh" and "The World to Come," showcase a warm, organic sound marked by rich instrumentation and soulful vocals. With a growing international fanbase, Zusha continues to explore faith, identity, and joy through a genre-defying musical journey.
