Fool’s Gold on MBE

I first saw Fool’s Gold in 2006 at a Hanukah event at Three Clubs in Hollywood. Since it’s primarily a bar, not a venue, I didn’t have high expectations. But before I knew it, I was standing right up in front and staying way longer than I planned. This morning, they proved why they’ve been media darlings lately – not just here in LA where they are based, but in NYC where they conquered CMJ and elsewhere. The band’s music is best described at joyous and it certainly is danceable, combining African melodies and beats with lyrics sung in Hebrew. It’s a cultural mish mash that works on every level and they are about to launch their first major U.S. tour. Be on the lookout!
