Aviv Behar - Singer/Songwriter & Master World Musician
Whether it's playing and mastering the traditional music and theory of Central Asian Music or Bluegrass, Folk and Blues from Nashville to Chicago, Aviv Behar is unique in his ability to be comfortable in virtually any style of music.
After studying at the prestigious Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music with jazz and theory masters, Aviv set his sights on becoming versed in a wide variety of ethnic and roots music both Eastern and Western in origin. Reggae, funk, rock, jazz, flamenco, celtic, and classical guitar round out some of Aviv's influences.
Playing and mastering the "maqam" system of music from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey and Iran, including instruments like the oud, kopuz, tanbur, saz, and dutar, has made Aviv one of the most sought-after musicians for acts that are based on those and other related middle and near eastern styles of music.
Aviv is a founding member of Diwan Saz, an international ensemble that has participated in some of the largest World Music Festivals and he has shared the stage with such noted musicians including Ross Daly, Peretz and Mark Eliyhu, Amir Sha'asar and world-class dancers like Miriam Peretz.
He is currently working on a project with Hadas Kleinman (Asaf Avidan, The Voice Israel, Shlomo Artzi) scheduled to be released in April 2014. This album promises to be a masterful recording of original music including guitar and violin-cello instrumentation and masterful lyrics and harmonies.
