Basya Schechter
Basya Schechter grew up in the Hasidic community of Borough Park in Brooklyn and founded the band Pharaoh's Daughter in 1995, while she was a student at Barnard College. She sings and plays oud, guitar, saz and percussion, and the band's sound mixes Jewish song and klezmer with folk and Middle Eastern music. Her solo album Songs of Wonder sets the Yiddish poems of Abraham Joshua Heschel, and Kabbalachia, made with Shaul Magid, sets the Kabbalat Shabbat liturgy to Appalachian old-time music. She serves as cantor and music director at the Romemu congregation in New York, and as cantor at the Fire Island Synagogue.
