Margalit Oved’s symphony of tin cans
“She never comes on the stage for me to see her that tears do
not come to my eyes. She has a quality which is very, very, very
special in the world...It is special wherever a great being dominated
by a passion comes to the stage.”
--Martha Graham
“The remarkable Margalit…She has the sold out crowd in the
palm of her hand.”
--The New York Times
“When she sings her voice fills the hall. It rises like a whirlwind
off some desert. It’s astonishing.”
--The Christian Science Monitor
“At heart Margalit is a storyteller. Theatrically she is a visionary.’
--Anna Kisselgoff, The New York Times
The Tin Can:
Following the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, the Rabbinic authorities issued an edict prohibiting the playing of musical instruments as a means of commemorating the tragedy. The Jews of Yemen circumvented this prohibition by playing on tin cans in accompanying their songs.
