Nicolas Jolliet, a talented guitarist, sitarist and composer, has composed a rendition of the Kol Nidre
for Sitar, Subahar, Dombek, Oud, and Tablas, called “Kol Nidre Goes East.” Nico’s Kol Nidre became the subject of a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation documentary when it was played at a Yom Kippur service held at a U.S. Base in Kandahar. The piece is now available without charge on the SoundCloud Web-site so that it will be available to as many people as possible. It can be accessed at:
