David Broza pofr'ms
at Book Fair on
Saturday, Nov. 11.
FOLK LEGENDS
REMEMBERING RABIN
Israeli-born singer/songwriter David Broza has
been dubbed "a postmodern Leonard Cohen," inter-
twining folk guitar finesse with a lyrical pastiche of
poetry. He has 19 albums to his credit, and fre-
quently travels back and forth to Israel, where he is a
rock star legend and recently appeared with Sting.
As the Michigan Jewish community honors the
legacy of the late Yitzhak Rabin in a memorial cere-
mony created by area youth groups, Broza will take
the stage in a concert 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, at
the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield.
Taking place during Book Fair, the performance is
part of the JCC's Julius Chajes and Encore Concert
series and is co-sponsored by the Michigan/Israel
Connection. Admission is free, but tickets are
required. Call (248) 661-7649.
