Israel is also MUSIC

One of the most amazing things for me about Israel is how moving some of the songs and music are. Lately I have been listening to this one CD over and over, and I thought it might intrigue you to lend an ear too..

These songs are related to the Ethiopian newcomers to Israel, their life and their music, and to Shlomo Gronich, an amazing (to my humble opinion) Israeli musician and composer, who works with them to produce quiet a riveting music.

This are videos of 2 of the songs (quality is better on the CD)
