In times where fear and war rule and divide us, I think music is more important than ever, to bring people together, connect us to our soul and not lose our sense of humanity. This has always been my mission, to bring people together from all walks of life through music. That's the only thing that gives me hope right now.
I can't wait to bring back my 8-piece mega band to the famous Rough Trade East to celebrate the vinyl release of my album 'IMA' on 8/12 for a special Live and signing event.
This one is going to be special :
Noga Ritter - vocals, Giuliano Osella - drums, Tomer Eldor - piano and BVs, Alessandro Gugel - guitar and BVs, Basile Petite - bass, Maurizio Ravalico- percussion
A surprise guest to be announced soon!
Join us, I'm looking forward to getting together with you all!

It was a real pleasure to chat with Jane Cornwell and answer her interesting questions about my album and musical journey. We talked for a long time and she managed to squeeze in beautifully a lot of our conversation in this beautiful article on Songlines magazine. Have a read if you want to discover more.
Thank you to everyone who came to the album launch at The Forge and made it an unforgettable night!
1st3 Magazine captured the magic beautifully in their review.
“Noga becomes her music; her performance is as natural as breathing. The sound is totally her own; unique, authentic, and fabulous”
“Noga’s vocal conviction, her strong, sultry tone, her versatility of style and her ability to connect diversity and intersectionality of sound is what makes her so special. This evening of extraordinary talent, wonderful, ecstatic music and creative vibrancy combined with the sharing of the most tender and intimate storytelling leaves us feeling buoyant, enriched, and rejuvenated- and that we belong to Noga’s colourful world of positivity and connection. We believe in her; and in her conviction that the magical power of music can connect us – change us- and transform lives.”

Thank you Kevin Whitlock for such a great album review on Jazzwise magazine!
“An immensely promising debut (as leader) from Noga Ritter, an Israeli-born, London-based singer, composer and bandleader… a dizzyingly diverse listen. Well-travelled and cosmopolitan, Ritter is as comfortable singing and writing in English as she is in Hebrew; able to incorporate textures from all cultures; and on this evidence, is a writer of serious potential”
Looking forward to take this album on tour, to new places and new audiences!
