It’s the ancient calling, piercing through the numbness, rousing the life force that you buried in your childhood, when you thought, “this is as good as it gets” and fell in step. It’s the euphoria awaiting you in the expansive realm – not the one that vanishes when the hit is over, but the one that remains, reshaping you into that vision from the mist of your dreams. It is the fierce love that looks for you, finds you, gently takes your hand, and says, “Come. It is time.” From the cathartic force of punk rock to the calming energy of sacred chants, KHAZZOOMusic is the soundtrack for your soul’s transformational journey. An innovative blend of original music and ancient Iraqi Jewish prayers, sung in English, Hebrew, and Judeo-Arabic, it is the creation of singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Loolwa Khazzoom. Her lyrics boldly confront personal and collective trauma – exploring how to cultivate joy, beauty, intimacy, and resilience from the brokenness of our lives and our world.

In the wake of the Oct 7 massacre, the shocking celebrations worldwide, and the deafening silence in response to both, Loolwa Khazzoom shut down completely and stopped creating – both from a sense of despair and out of a feeling of solidarity with the victims. Following an epiphany that radical Jewish joy is the most powerful act of solidarity and defiance, Khazzoom burst into an intensive 10 day period of creativity, in which she wrote this raw, passionate album of 7 songs for the Oct 7 victims – in genre-defying musical styles ranging from folk and jazz to punk and metal. The album weaves through English, Hebrew, and Judeo-Arabic. Full album back story here.
