by percussion artist Noa Vax.
Noa Vax is a percussion artist based in Kfar Saba in Israel.
She started playing the drums at the age of 9 and since then has been creating music as a solo artist and as part of ensembles in Israel and abroad. Significant among her performances are
“Grandma Memi” , with three generations of women in her family performing modern versions of Ladino songs; “Quartetoukan” - a Jewish-Arab musical encounter ; “Arba’atenu - the Four of Us” - an all-female quartet performing modern Israeli songs ; “Oriental Kids’ Groove” - Mediterreanean flavored versions of children's music and so on.
In 2015, Noa was sent by the Israeli Ministry of Culture to Paris, for a residency at the at the Cité internationale des arts where she developed a performance titled “My Journey”, fusing street sounds from Tel Aviv and Paris with singing, percussion and electronic music.
Noa’s specialty is in Middle Eastern percussion. After years of playing as a backing artist to prominent Israeli singers and performing in various international music festivals, she has developed a unique body percussion workshop.
