Myspace LayoutsFormed in 2005, AttiKa is an Israeli progressive rock band, playing world music.
It all started in 2004, when Oded Kafri (drums) traveled to Africa, where he was inspired by the African grooves and vibes. When he returned to Israel, he turned to Elad Gazit (guitar), to help him create songs from the music he wrote in Africa.
Gazit and Kafri started jamming together, working on Kafri’s songs and writing others.
After producing a few songs they approached Roy Rieger (vocal) who they both knew, Gazit and Rieger served in the Israeli Army (IDF) together, and Kafri and Rieger were band members of the earlier rock band, Barracuda.
For a Few Years Rieger lived in England, where he studied composition in Manchester and then moved to London to study and write music. Once returning to Israel, he was happy to join them for a few sessions.
At the first session together they knew they had something special.
Roy also brought with him some of his amazing songs and together they started working on the AttiKa Project.
Jonathan Levi (bass), a brilliant musician and a very busy bass player, who has a unique musical connection with Kafri, came to the studio for a few recording sessions and started helping in managing and producing AttiKa Songs.
Elad Adar (keyboard) was the missing link, He came to AttiKa's first rehearsal and everybody in the room fell in love with his magical keyboard touch and creative ideas in arranging and producing songs. After that he went to the studio to record and Co produce with the other band members .
These days AttiKa is working on their first album, and performing all over Israel.
