Shem's Disciples is the brainchild of percussionist,
multi-instrumentalist, composer, and arranger Marlon Sobol.
Accompanied by his brother, Aaron, who is a clarinetist and hip-hop
lyricist, the Sobol brothers have assembled a sizzling band and
created a fusion of sound and culture that is something very special.
They comfortably blend Jewish spiritualism with roots reggae, flavored
with raw live hip-hop. The music is layered with vocal harmonies;
slamming instrumental sections and tight rhyming that make for an
electrifying live experience.
