The Voices Four, also known by its Hebrew name, Arbaah Kolot, was an American Jewish folk rock band founded in New York City in 1967.
The band was noted as a curiosity by student publications for its unique approach to traditional Jewish music, especially after their successful 1968 concerts at Columbia University's Wollman Auditorium and New York City's Town Hall theatre.
[3] Having raised its profile through performances around the United States, The Voices Four signed with Monitor Records, which was eventually acquired by Smithsonian Folkways.
[4] Under Monitor Records, The Voices Four released two albums, Arbaah Kolot and Our Rock and Our Redeemer, which contained a mix of traditional, liturgical, and popular music.
[5][6] On the sleeve for the album Arbaah Kolot, the group's sound is described as "Jewish soul," a genre which every song that they perform is rendered in.
