Pharaoh’s Daughter: Blending psychedelic sensibility and pan-Mediterranean sensuality, Basya Schechter leads her New York band through Hasidic chants and Mizrahi and Sephardi folk-rock, filtered through percussion, flute, strings and electronica. In 2006, the group received awards in the categories of Best Middle Eastern Blend and Best World Music at the New York Jewish Music and Heritage Festival.
