Opium Moon is a sensual and groovy collaboration of master musicians Lili Haydn on Violin/Voice, Hamid Saeidi on Santoor (Persian hammered dulcimer), MB Gordy on ancient percussion, and Itai Disraeli on fretless bass. We come from the corners of the world—Israel, Iran, and the US—making peace through harmony. Lili and Itai join Baruch for a spirited discussion, and we’ll hear tracks from the new CD Opium Moon.

Music by: Lili Haydn, Maetar, and Opium Moon.
