The Saffron Caravan World Music Ensemble, with musicians from all different countries including the United States, Canada, Iran, Israel, and Cuba, came to Israel and showcased the amazing results that cross-cultural collaboration can deliver. The Saffron Caravan performed at the Ambassador's residence for a wide range of contacts including key contacts from the Israeli cultural scene. Additionally, they travelled to periphery areas and gave workshops as well as donated instruments. Their musical style is truly unique, with influences ranging from modern jazz, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and mystical melodies from Arab, Jewish, and Persian music.
