Isra-Alien is:

Oren Neiman - Nylon String Guitar
Gilad Ben-Zvi - Steel String Guitar

This duo was born through many years of musical collaborations and ongoing discussion about various musical concepts. The result is a unique fusing of a myriad of musical traditions (Greek, Balkan, Eastern-European, and Jewish/Klezmer), with daring improvisations and inventive textures, showcasing both guitarists musical worlds.

Gilad Ben Zvi, and Oren Neiman are both Israeli guitar players who moved to New York eight years ago and made it their musical home. They met originally during their mandatory service in the Israeli army, and have been close friends and musical collaborators ever since.

In 2005 Gilad had a vision of a guitar duo combining steel string acoustic guitar and nylon string acoustic guitar, playing music that is new to both players, but without giving up each of their unique musical identity. This resulted in a collection of new compositions that challenged both players both technically and conceptually.

In April 2009, Isra-Alien released their debut album Isra-Alien.The duo has since been touring in support of the new album.

In November 2012 the duo released their second album Somewhere is Here! featuring 9 new compositions and arrangements that continue their search through the roots of Israeli music, and their exploration of the possibilities available with four hands and two guitars.

Isra-Alien had gathered an impressive list of shows around the world (USA, Canada, Israel, Brazil and England to name a few) and are constantly looking to add more and more pins on the map.

Their live performances are humoristic and lively, and include stories and personal anecdotes about the music, the compositions and the musicians.
