The Miami Boys Choir child soloists relive the music and the memories
When Yerachmiel Begun took a bunch of his original compositions and put out his first Miami Boys Choir album in 1977, who would have thought the genre would still be so popular four decades and 34 albums later? Yet what impact did it have on those early young soloists whose few short years of stardom — until their voices changed and they could no longer fit into those sequined vests and bowties — are but distant memories in their adult lives?
I have my own bands — The Shloime Dachs Orchestra & Singers and the Core Plus Band — and after releasing six solo albums and appearing on over thirty others, it’s truly humbling to still sing at weddings and be mesameach Klal Yisrael. It’s a gift from Hashem I never take for granted.
Miami Boys Choir was my introduction to the world of Jewish music, and I’m blessed to still be part of it today. With five solo albums released since 2003, the privilege of enhancing weddings is an ongoing joy.
Being in MBC made me dream of leading my own choir. For 15 years and five albums, I ran the Shira Chadasha Boys Choir, which also accompanied many stars on their solo albums. Right now I’m not that active in the music field, as I closed my choir a couple of years ago to focus on my writing career.
