About Me
Emmanuel Mann is a pioneer of Israel's World Music where he moved from France in 1982 and became one of the country's top bass players. He has developed a unique style fusing Eastern and Western elements. The group Habrera Hativeet led by Shlomo Bar and Bustan Abraham, the first arab/israeli ensemble which he co-founded, have made a huge impact on Israeli culture and have influenced a whole generation of musicians.
