With sold-out performances in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Jerusalem, this folk/world-soul band of neo-Hasidic hipsters makes its first trip to Australia for Shir Madness Jewish Music Festival in Melbourne.

Zusha’s music is a blend of reggae, gypsy-swing, jazz, folk and traditional Jewish soul that inspires with wordless meditations or lines from ancient liturgy. At times it feels raw and rustic, at times gentle and poignant, and sometimes you’ll just get up and dance.

Their eponymous debut EP launched to #9 on Billboard’s World music chart and they are back in the studio finishing their first full-length album, due out late 2015.
