In a sea of countless musical offerings, Yehuda Glantz succeeds at creating a significant niche for himself by forging a new direction for Jewish music. Born in Argentina, his South American and Latin heritage has clearly influenced his music, but he also incorporates the musical signatures of Middle Eastern tradition, the Sepharadic tradition, the Ashkenazi and Chassidic traditions etc. His artistic career began at the tender age of five when he overwhelmed his audience with his intense vocal interpretations in Central Temple in Buenos Aires. Later when his sister began to learn accordion he was accompanying her to the classes. One day when his father came home, he heard melodies from Yehuda?s room, thinking that Yehuda?s sister was practicing her lessons. He entered the room and saw Yehuda lying on his bed (because the accordion was too heavy for him) playing all the melodies his sister was studying in the classes. From there Shmuel Glantz sent him to learn seriously. After one year, the conservatory offered him a scholarship to study classical music, which they gratefully accepted. (Shmuel Glantz has been playing for long time, soul violin melodies) Yehuda masters several instruments: accordion, guitar, piano, keyboards, charango, bamboo flutes and authentic percussion instruments. Yehuda?s affinity for individualistic, highly stylistic sound drew him to ethnic instruments. The ?charango? is a South American instrument that is close to the ukulele. ?I love its warm sounds and I like to use it in many of my arrangements?. Some of the compositions are interspersed with the sweet endearing harmonies of a young boy voice named Achia Witt and Yehuda defines his contribution in personal terms:? I have seen what the integrity of a child?s voice can accomplish from my own experience in shul in Buenos Aires. Children can inspire with their innocence. In 1979 he immigrated to Jerusalem to continue his studies in the Rubin Academy after a successful musical career that boasted several concert tours throughout Argentina and Brazil. In 1982, at the music festival in Rosh-Pina, the course of his life and music took a life-defining detour, which catapulted him, and he became a baal-teshuva. The metamorphosis has been total and absolute. He is grateful for the bounty of talent that he has been endowed with and recognizes the responsibility inherent. When Yehuda appears on stage with his charismatic performance, he transforms the crowd from formally attired to foot-stomping and rip-roaring assemblage. Every performance is for him a new experience to a grateful message of the greatness of Hashem. ? I want to make people happy, I want to unify my audience. In combining so many different styles I hope to focus on what makes us similar and not on what makes us different. When I hear the Warm applause of the audience I feel how the music gives them ?simcha?, so I Pray to Hashem to accept our music celebration and to be happy that His children smile and Dance. This is a real gift?. Yehuda travels internationally on concert tours in Europe, North, Central and South America where he performs to rave reviews. In Israel he performs regularly on radio, TV, at exclusive private events and like performer at concerts.
