A decade ago, when cross-cultural music was still a relative rarity, Daphna Sadeh was a member of the innovative "East/West Ensemble". The musicians came from diverse origins, with deep roots in the culture of Asia, The Mediterranean and the Middle East. The Voyagers, Daphna's current group, encapsulate the same spirit, and continue the quest of creating inter-cultural music as a reflection of the world in which we live.

After discovering an archive of extremely rare Jewish silent films made in Kiev between 1910-1945 he and his wife Polina accompanied the films on clarinet and piano at festivals all over Europe and in the US.

The couple also work together on a yiddish a capella quartet "Ashkenazim", performing in London, Brighton, Moscow, St Petersburg, throughout the former Soviet Union and most recently at Ashkenaz in Toronto.

Most recent collaborations have been with remixer/reworker of Balkan & Jewish music Max Pashm on his latest release "Never Mind the Balkans"
