Hi, I'm
Itay Abramovitz, an Israeli musician, composer, arranger, musical producer & a piano player. I was born in a musical family: my grandfather was a very respectful Rabi (hazan) of the Jewish community in Tunisia. You can find here some other musicians of my family in my "Top Friends" - my brother & 2 cousins (guess who...)
My musical work concentrates mainly in Latin music of all kinds, which I love the most. I spent 1 year in Cuba, investigating Cuban music & culture to the bone, learning more & more about all different styles & getting to know the right atmosphere. In Havana I recorded some of my original songs featuring some of the best Cuban singers & musicians in a local recording studio. That was a great & exciting experince for me.
Nowadays me & my partner
Roni Iwrin (one of Israel's great percusionists, born in Uruguay), run
Kimbombo , which is our Latin music band, featuring the greatest singers & musicians in Israel in the field of Afro-Cuban music & Salsa. Visit also
Kimbombo's Website (now available in Hebrew only): www.kimbombo.com
My recording studio is located in Givatayim & is available for almost all studio works: full musical productions for singers & groups, composing, unique arrangements for all kinds of orchestrations,recording with best musicians in all instruments, Live or computer based playbcks, etc. The studio is big, air conditioned and has lots of free parking places.
Here are some pics of the studio:
