I grew up in a religious family, where God was always part of my world and my questions. In high school, I connected with Hasidic melodies, and one of them became the heart of Shavur (broken, in Hebrew). Shavur is a prayer and a question, and a struggle that becomes compassion.

-----
Sarel is a Kanun master, composer, and arranger. His musical influences come from both Eastern tradition and Western culture.
His first album, produced with ‪@SHIRANandBAKAL‬, combines diverse inspirations-from the East and the West, from the old and the new, and from the conservative to the liberal view.
The album reveals his personality's complex and contradictory layers and brings aromas of jazz, Turkish and Arabic music, progressive rock, and funk.
The qanun has a long history in the Middle Eastern regions. The qanun had strings from animal intestines before the modern era, which were replaced with nylon, wound metal and PVF strings later. There are many different qanun versions with 24, 25, 26, and 27 courses of strings with 3 strings in each course.
The qanuns were forgotten instruments for a long time as they could not easily play all the notes needed in Turkish music. They came in use again when a musician from Damascus brought them back to Istanbul during the time of Sultan Mahmud II between 1818 and 1839. Since that time, qanuns have been widely used in the country by amateur and professional musicians, including many Turkish women.
