Instead, Arlan has produced and released six critically acclaimed albums on his own notpop records, including his latest and most challenging LP, "Diaspora," a chronicle of the hardships the Jewish community has had to endure. Like many of its predecessors, "Diaspora" landed on the Euro Americana Charts, reaching No. 5. That industry-oriented chart has been a boon to Arlan's career overseas, as has Netherlands-based booking agent Lucky Dice Music, which annually lands him shows also in Belgium and Germany, where the Holocaust-reflective "Diaspora" has been an inspiration.
