Now it has caught the attention of Guitarist and Sitarist Nicolas Jolliet. Using the sitar, surbahar, tabla, oud, dumbek and other exotic instruments, this CD was recorded on&nbsp;the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia,&nbsp;and evolves from traditional ragas into a seductive Reggae beat. The subject of a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation documentary, it was played at a Yom Kippur service held at a U.S. base in Kandahar, Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jolliet Kol Nidre was written in two parts. The first,\u00a0 although\u00a0\u00a0innovative, closely follows the original. The second part is a freer interpretation using the richly textured sounds of the East.\u00a0 Click <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rsa.fau.edu\/album\/37760\">here<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>to listen to this beautiful rendition of one of Judaica&#8217;s most iconic songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The producer, Harold Levy, has made the piece available free of charge on <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/kolnidregoeseast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soundcloud&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Information on how to purchase\u00a0this album\u00a0can be found at Kolnidre.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes&nbsp;the unexpected comes with&nbsp;the daily mail.
