Oi Va Voi (Yiddish for "Oh, dear god") is an experimental Jewish music band from London, England. The band, formed in 2000, consists of six members:
- Lemez Lovas (trumpet, keys, vocals, production),
- Josh Breslaw (drums, percussion, production),
- Sophie Solomon (violin, viola, piano, accordion, melodica),
- Leo Bryant (bass, double bass),
- Steve Levi (clarinet, vocals), and
- Nik Ammar (guitar, mandolin, backing vocals).
They have so far released two full length albums: Laughter Through Tears (featuring guest vocals by KT Tunstall and Earl Zinger of Galliano) in 2003, and Digital Folklore (which is now considered extremely rare) in 2002, and four vinyl singles. The band suggested in both their official website and in their myspace page that they will release a new album called Oi Va Voi in April 2006 without the now accomplished violinist Sophie Solomon.
