MAMA DONI IN THE NEWS
Mama Doni Band Wins Simcha Prize at 2008 International Jewish Music Festival
The Mama Doni Band came away with one of the top prizes in this year's International Jewish Music Festival held in Amsterdam from May 9-12. Competing against ensembles from 15 countries, The Mama Doni Band was awarded the special IJMF Foundation Simcha Prize for Inspiring Joy through Music. (Simcha is the Yiddish word for "joy" or "gladness."). The Prize carries a cash award of 500 Euros.
Though many of the 23 competing ensembles have been performing together for years, the newly formed Mama Doni Band was selected by the Festival for this prestigious award in recognition of the joyfulness and energy Mama Doni Band brings to Jewish music. The Mama Doni Band's fresh blend of "Jewgrass," rock, and reggae garnered high praise and resulted in the receipt of the special prize.
The Amsterdam festival comes on the heels of the May 2nd release of Mama Doni's CD, "I Love Herring' (& Other Fish Shticks For Kids)", which is a sixteen-song collection of music for "everyone from babies to bubbies", and is already winning over people of all ages and cultures with its quirky humor and clever lyrics. Now, Mama Doni (Doni Zasloff Thomas) will be bringing her lovable live show back home to the East Coast.
