· 3 pulledIt took Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood more than a decade to follow acclaimed 2015 album 'Junun.' A musician died. A pandemic intervened. And then there were the visas.
In the intervening years Greenwood has composed film scores, recorded 'Jarak Qaribak' with Israeli rock musician Dudu Tassa, and played in The Smile with Radiohead's Thom Yorke – but this collaboration remained a priority.
The fusion of Indian classical traditions with Israeli musical sensibilities creates something entirely unique.
