ReplyDeleteI just listened to 16 Female Cantors From Around the World Sing "Jerusalem of Gold," and it was absolutely breathtaking! The blend of voices from such diverse backgrounds created a powerful experience. I was wearing my Blade runner 2049 jacket while enjoying the music, which added a cool, futuristic vibe to the moment. It’s incredible how music can transcend time and space, much like the themes in the movie. What did you think of the performance?
