Yehuda Glantz is a true Renaissance man. He has created his own unique musical style, a “fusion” of hot Latino rhythms, energetic Chassidic rock beats, and Jewish soul music. Yehuda is famous not only for singing and playing 14 different traditional and ethnic South American instruments, he also writes, composes, and produces all his music in his private studio in Jerusalem.
During long years Yehuda has collected an honorable directory of music and songs that wait the opportunity to be edited. There is no doubt that Yehuda's music and talent can be expanded much more all over the world. The music has a deep spiritual message for all the people. In his private studio located in the mystical streets of Jerusalem he writes, composes, plays and records his music. The results show in his work and set new standards in Contemporary Jewish music.

Granite
Yehuda was 5 years old when he first picked up the accordion when his parents were away. "It was so big and heavy" he recalls, "I had to lie down on the bed so I don't drop it..." He hasn't stopped picking up (with permission) any instrument that came his way ever since. Multi-talented Yehuda Glantz, virtuoso of South American and folk music, gets his audiences up and jumping with his spiritual words and joyous sounds. Recorded live, at the Granite hotel, Hudson Valley Resort New York State, USA - Pesach 2001.
