Esta
Released 1990
ESTA's first album was released in Israel by M.C.I. Records and was greeted with considerable acclaim. Following a series of performances in Paris, the album was distrubuted (from November 1992) by BUDA E.P.M. Records all over Europe.
Mediterranean Crossroads
Released 1996
Their second album, Mediterranean Crossroads, is a cross between a middle eastern zorna, darbuka, bouzouki, bagpipes, electric guitar, soprano sax with a rocking jazz fusion band!!!! You have never heard Dror Yikra or a Hassidic Nigun played like this before!
Home Made World
Released 2002
In their third album, Home Made World, Esta seems to have taken its multicultural approach to the nth degree. The 11-track album incorporates Persian, Yemenite and Iraqi motifs along with rock, jazz and blues. Their Eastern rendition of the Moody Blues' "Nights In White Satin" is, possibly, the ultimate cross-cultural fusion. Rock fans will, no doubt, also dig the band's version of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," which features local rock megastar Rami Kleinstein
