Barak makes the radio! (audio)

The Messianic radio station broadcast from Israel, InspiredFaith.org, recently started broadcasting my brother Aaron's music from his band Barak. I did some vocals for a song on the album and just yesterday heard it played over the radio. Fun! Request a Barak song and hear for yourself.

I'm really loving Barak's music. He takes chances with some unorthodox sounds and mixes and gives a living, zealous sound that separates him from much of the slew of religious music out there. Beautiful ballads, bold prophecy songs, spiritual meditation songs, and of course some excellent praise songs - all with the bold sound of Barak.

Here's a Windows Media Player playlist containing the Barak songs, give it a try and let me know what you all think.

One of my favorites from the album would have to be Barak's Psalm 19, with it's touch of Matisyahu-esque Reggae

Yeshua's Lament (audio)

My younger brother Aaron has put together a really great album of music for Messiah. I'd like to share some of it with you all over the next few weeks, hope you enjoy it.

Aaron's a great guitar player and has done some really beautiful music through his talent. His band, Barak (Hebrew for lightning), plays an interesting mix of Messianic music: I'd best describe it as Messianic Hebrew folk rock, crossed with a touch of Matisyahu-like Reggae. (Told you it was interesting!)

Barak also plays some really beautiful, heart-felt ballads, the first of which is below.

So here's the first: a beautiful ballad based on Luke 22, in which Yeshua (Jesus) prays in great anguish over the things that were about to happen: the fulfillment of Torah through his atoning sacrifice.
