Music: Global Matisyahu

Since emerging onto the mainstream-music scene back in 2006, Matisyahu has attracted equal parts acclaim and confusion. As a practicing Hasidic Jew, he makes for an unlikely reggae toaster, but when one realizes the many spiritual similarities between Haredi Judaism and Rastafari, it's actually not that far of a stretch. Fusing dancehall reggae, rock, and even Jewish cantor stylings, Matisyahu gives spirited, almost ceremonial concerts that have won him legions of fans and silenced those who dismissed him as a mere novelty act. The singer is gearing up to release a new album, so hopefully he flings down some new selections for the crowd tonight.
