They formed in 2013 with lead singer Shlomo Gaisin, guitarist Zachariah Goldschmiedt, and drummer Elisha Mlotek. The band, named after Zusha of Hanipol, combines traditional Hasidic niggunim with secular styles like jazz, folk, and reggae. Their self-titled debut EP, released on October 28, 2014, reached No. 9 on Billboard's World Albums chart, while their debut full-length album, Kavana (2016), reached No. 2. HistoryOrigins (2013-2014)Zusha was formed in 2013 by Shlomo Gaisin, Zachariah Goldschmiedt, and Elisha Mlotek. All three had prior music backgrounds: Gaisin was the lead singer of the Jewish rock band JudaBlue, Goldschmiedt was the lead singer and producer for the electro-funk band Ch!nch!lla, and Mlotek is the son of Folksbiene director Zalmen Mlotek and grandson of Yiddish musicologist Eleanor Mlotek.[1][2] Gaisin and Mlotek met at a Chabad house in Bowery, and both were later introduced to Goldschmiedt through a mutual friend. They began rehearsing in friends' apartments, recording their sessions via iPhone, until Mlotek's brother, Rabbi Avram Mlotek, encouraged them to share their music more publicly.[1][3] Zusha EP (2014-2016)Zusha's self-titled debut EP was recorded and produced by Mason Jar Music and released on October 28, 2014, two days after the band's first show at the Mercury Lounge with Levi Robin.[1][4] The EP subsequently reached No. 9 on Billboard's World Albums chart.[5] In December, they performed at the Knitting Factory[6] and opened for Soulfarm at the Highline Ballroom.[7] The EP features cover art by Hasidic expressionist artist, Chezi Gerin.[8] In 2015, they gave a Purim concert with G-Nome Project at the Bowery Ballroom[9] and a Havdalah concert at the Atlanta Jewish Academy.[10] They also performed at the Kulturfest Yiddish Soul concert at Central Park's Rumsey Playfield, alongside Hasidic pop stars Avraham Fried and Lipa Schmeltzer, cantors Joseph Malovany and Yaakov Lemmer, and klezmer trumpeter Frank London.[11] In May, they played at the Washington, D.C. Jewish Community Center as part of the Washington Jewish Music Festival.[12] Kavana (2016-present)The band's first full-length album, Kavana, was released on January 5, 2016, and subsequently reached No. 2 on Billboard's World Albums chart.[13] A music video was filmed for the song "Mashiach". The album's song "Pashut" was featured in the trailer for the 2017 film Menashe, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.[14] Musical styleZusha's music combines the wordless vocals and improvised nature of traditional nigunim with elements folk, jazz, soul, reggae, and ska.[1] Influences cited by the band include Shlomo Carlebach, Matisyahu, Bob Dylan, Damian Marley, and Yosi Piamenta.[3] Hasidic influenceThe band is often associated with the Hasidic hipster and neo-Hasidism movements, although they have debated the latter term, arguing that they are merely rediscovering Hasidism rather than reinventing it.[4][12] They have also rejected the label of being "Jewish music", with Mlotek saying, "The music is deeper than religion. It’s deeper than a faith. I’m Jewish, but I’m a person. Let’s start from there."[2] Members
