Cohen’s original compositions and arrangements reflect a vast musical universe in which diverse traditions, cultures, languages, and styles blend together. His music seamlessly combines Hebrew and Ladino folklore with pulsating, original contemporary jazz, creating a sound that is both deeply rooted and innovative.
