Am Shir Band — “People of Song” — is a sacred music project founded by Dov Gilvanci Levi, a Sephardic entrepreneur and author with roots in Aleppo, Amsterdam, and Portugal. Drawing from the daily study of Tehilim (Psalms of David) and the ancient hazzan cantorial tradition, Am Shir brings the Psalms back to life through lyric tenor voice and orchestral arrangements.
