Enjoy this 42 minute set just as the sun is setting on the 22nd of December 2014. Included is Hevenu Shalom Aleichem, Carol of the Bells, Zenatogen, Minor Swing, Hellas, Hark the Herald Angels Sing by our very own Traveler! Hevenu Shalom Aleichem: Shalom aleikhem (Hebrew: שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם‎ shālôm ʻalêḵem; Yiddish: שלום־עליכם sholem aleykhem) is a greeting version in Hebrew, meaning "peace be upon you". The appropriate response is "aleikhem shalom", "upon you be peace". This form of greeting is traditional among Jews throughout the world. The greeting is more common amongst Ashkenazi Jewish. It is first found in Bereishit (Genesis) 43:23 and occurs six times in the Jerusalem Talmud. Only the plural form is used even when addressing one person. A religious explanation for this is that one greets both the body and the soul, but Hebrew does occasionally use the plural as a sign of respect (e.g. a name of God is Elohim אלוהים literally gods). Other languages Several languages share cognates to this greeting. The related Arabic language variation, (السلام عليكم) as-salāmu ʿalaykum, is used by Muslims of innumerable lingual and ethnic backgrounds. As-salāmu ʿalaykum and its variants are used by Muslims outside of the Arab world in Indonesia, Central Asia, Iran, Sahel Africa and many other places. Aramaic and classical Syriac use ܫܼܠܡ ܠܟܘܢ Shlam 'lekhon which means peace for you. This song cannot be found on any of the Traveler's extensive collection of albums as of yet but I think it will fit in anywhere Scott Jeffers chooses to place it. I had no idea the power of this song; they say that songs aren't really created new; that they are pulled, revived from the very land. I LOVE this song and am so very grateful to finally be aware of it and what it means!! It was only in doing these videos and writing about the songs that I finally recorded an excerpt of one and sent it to him asking what it was. Enjoy! Carol of the Bells can be found on the Traveler 2010 Old World Christmas album. Zenatogen can be found on one of the my favorite Traveler albums, released in 2008 titled Ancient Lands. Eric Zang adds such a flavor to this wonderfully fast paced song! Minor Swing; Gypsy Jazz at it's FINEST. Traveler nails this classic song! Django Rhinehart wrote this song in 1932 and it is hands down my favorite song to dance to at a club! What a delight Eric is in this wonderful song filled with improvisational art! Minor Swing has yet to grace an album yet so enjoy this recording until that time comes. Hellas is a song that means Greece. Played with the Bazouki it is just one of the many jewels to grace the stock pile of masterpieces played at Traveler shows! I hope you can join us some time soon! Hellas can be found on the 2011 self titled album titled Traveler Hark the Herald Angels Sing is performed using a Greek instrument called the Bazouki. Such a beautiful instrument lends a unique and festive sound to a classic song! This song can be found on the Traveler 2010 Old World Christmas album. Come and feast your senses on the magic of Christmas experienced by the folks who attended the The Lumi Fest, Desert Botanical Garden's 37th Annual Las Noches de las Luminarias, one of Arizona’s best holiday events. For 16 magical nights, the Garden comes to life with the soft glow from more than 8,000 hand-lit luminaria bags, thousands of white twinkle lights and the vibrant sounds and sights of 10 entertainment groups. Guests enjoy dinner at the Garden with family and friends, and stroll each path with a warm cup of cider or cocoa. The Southwest elegance and beauty of the Garden at night will remind you of what the season is all about. Each year Traveler has been a part of what makes this Festival so magical. Traveler has played at the festival every year for the last 4 years and have become a favorite. Please like this video in your support of it remaining on youtube.
