Who is Isaac Bitton? Well Isaac (Jacky) Bitton was one of the founding members of the top French Rock Band LES VARIATIONS from the 70’s which was the first and only french rock band to adventure in the soil of America .Since he returned to his Jewish religious roots,he has been known in the Jewish music scene under the group name of RAYA MEHEMNA and more recently under his own name. In the early 80’s he released two albums titled SONGS FOR A BROTHER Vol 1 & 2.

Bitton is widely known for his energetic drumming style, soulful powerful voice, and for fusing traditional Moroccan tunes and scales with R&B, Blues,Soul and North African rythms. With this new CD Isaac is bringing to the table an originality rarely seen and heard even in the Big Scene of music. Listen to his vocal improvisation on track 6 in an Andalusic moroccan style never done before in English.

Now his third album titled “Generation Redemption” is FINALLY in stores and online on CD Baby. For more on Isaac visit his website www.IsaacBitton.com for more info on Isaac, and to hear the regal sound of Raya Mehemna!
