Dekel is a singer-songwriter, whose gentle music spans various eclectic genres, from folky jazz to indie alternative. This event is part of our Synagogue Nights season.
Dekel grew up in Haifa overlooked by the evergreen Mount Carmel and next door to a sprawling forest. In her house the radio was always on playing music, which inspired Dekel to take piano and flute lessons and a pull towards the stage led her to later attend the prestigious Beit Zvi performing art school. Music was her first love though and following the release of Last of Songs (2014), a collaboration with Eldad Zitrin, Dekel established herself as a solo artist with the release of her two albums – Hello (2018) and Desert Moon (2023).
During her show at Manchester Jewish Museum, together with her band, Dekel will be performing songs from her new album ‘Starlings’. Featuring cello, accordion, acoustic guitar, and clarinet, her music blends vibrant melodies with deep spiritual themes from her Jewish heritage. It radiates warmth and authenticity, weaving together soothing melodies with heartfelt lyrics that invite listeners into her world. Her style beautifully blends elements of folk and pop, creating a cosy atmosphere that’s both reflective and uplifting.
