Miri-Ben Ari : mixing genres and making it work



There are few artists out in the industry that i think are really great musicians. And Miri-Ben Ari is one of them. Also known as The Hip-Hop Violinist, Miri-Ben Ari has collaborated with other artists such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, Wyclef Jean, and Alicia Keys just to name a few. She is known for her fusion of classical style with jazz, R&B and hip hop, and it is her background in classical music that makes her collaborations work. Not many artists can play off classical music and hip-hop, and Miri-Ben Ari is so good at her craft that you can't resist not listening to what she might put together. She's already released an album, "Miri-Ben Ari : The Hip Hop violonist" with collabortations with today's current R&B and Hip-Hop artists.



I can't wait to see what she's got for her future projects. (Hopefully a new album, *crosses fingers). All in all, Miri-Ben Ari is great at what she does. A real true artist and musician. Here are some videos of Miri-Ben Ari that i love watching...
