Sasson is a Seattle based ensemble that is taking folk music to a new place: the Sambaklez. Founders Keith Judelman, Benjamin Gown, and Adam Kessler have created a vibrant project in which the sounds of Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean fly over the thumping rhythms of Brasil. Sasson brings the joyous celebration of life back to the dancehall with a passion that is undeniable and infectious. Whether in trio form or as the full eight piece ensemble, Sasson seamlessly flows across the world's oceans and taps into that primal space in the human spirit that wants to let loose because life is right now!
"Our guests keep commenting on how much they enjoyed the band. The wedding wouldn't have had the warm, spirited feeling without Sasson. The music before the ceremony helped us get in the mood, the songs during the ceremony were beautiful and moving, and the music during the reception kept everyone on their feet dancing." (Dr. Fran Rattner, mother of the groom)
