Jewish music lovers worldwide know that when Sheya Mendlowitz spots talent, good things are coming their way. Recently, Sheya was introduced to new talent Avrumy Kalter who not only has a unique tone to his voice, but is also a musician.
The two decided to collaborate on a project and Sheya introduced Avrumy to his close friend, composer Abie Rotenberg. They chose to perform an updated version of the old favorite “Little Kite.”
With the project underway, they reached out to arranger extraordinaire Yisroel Lamm to arrange the music.
The song Little Kite was written and performed originally by Abie Rotenberg in the 1993 release of Journeys 2.
Enjoy this refreshing new take on an Abie Rotenberg classic.

What a masterful rendition of this classic Journey’s song. Yashar koach to all of the musicians for putting this together.
What stunning music. Good voices. Love Abie Rotenburg. Thank you for sharing! I dont usually comment but had to for this one. Keep creating music
The song reminds me a little of the Piano Man
I am not a maven in music. I would love to know the difference between the original and this one.
Stunning. Keep em coming. Breath of fresh air.
The second Journeys album was released in 1989 not 1993.

Wow they both have amazing voices!!!!

Having corona was really not fun,
But soon Refuas Hashem did come,

“Now boys you owe me one” !
