Band's Visit -o.c.r. David Yazbeck

Original Broadway cast recording. After a mix-up at the border, an Egyptian Police Band is sent to a remote village in the middle of the Israeli desert. With no bus until morning and no hotel in sight, these unlikely travelers are taken in by the locals. Under the spell of the desert sky, their lives become intertwined in the most unexpected ways. The Band's Visit celebrates the deeply human ways music, longing and laughter can connect us all. "The score feels as essential as oxygen" - The New York Times. "A savory multicultural mixture of Egyptian pop music, Israeli klezmer and cool American jazz." - Wall Street Journal. "It doesn't sound like anything else you've heard. It is perfect." - New York.
