Miri Ben-Ari - Musical Ambasador from unexpected places a (playlist)

As a teenager I remember pulling out some of my favorite cover songs and wailing on them in the practice room.  But the guys in the local combo at school wouldn't have any of it.  Why would they want some chick with a violin under her chin up staging them.   But Miri doesn't let any thing hold her back.  She plays any kind of music she wants to and the guys in the band can say nothing about it.

Miri Ben-Ari, a Grammy Award-Winning violinist, composer & producer, Goodwill Ambassador of Music for the United Nations Association of Brazil originally from Israel, has created her own unique sound – a revolutionary fusion of classical soul and dance music. She is recognized as a musical pioneer.

Nice sticky ear tune guys.
