Going Out Tonight by The Twins trio
1 recommendation
"I love this CD - it's a republication of the "Twin Trio"s 1966 album "HaLaila Yotzim" (Going Out Tonight); it carries quite a wave of nostalgia. These are the tunes of the young Israel, some songs have what I call "the Kibbutz sound"."
Longing by Yehudit Ravitz
1 recommendation
"Yehudit Ravitz is a very versatile musician - she does rock and pop, but also childrens' songs, and she performed with the Israeli Symphonic Orchestra. This here is one of my favourite albums of hers; it's a double-CD release with beautiful songs and lyrics."
Cnaan 2000 by Shabak Samech
1 recommendation
"Say what - impossible to rap in Hebrew? Ha. Tune in to this. Shabaq Samech are quite cool, and "Cnaan 2000" is my favourite of all their albums. None of the songs sounds like the other (so no boredom at all), the lyrics are great, and the songs are all danceable. Click over to Israel Music and listen to the samples."
Live In Massada by David Broza
1 recommendation
"David Broza has this tradition of playing live each year at the Massada Festival, which takes place at the foot of Massada, the ancient fortress next to the Dead Sea. His concerts start late at night and go on into the sunrise - it's not just a tradition, but it's an experience beyond words. His first live recording was released in 1993, but this here is a DVD of the same concert. One of my favou..."
It's All Or Nothing by David Broza
1 recommendation
"David Broza is one of those phantastic performers who seem to have been around forever - "Ze hakol o klum" was released in 2002, and it features some great titles, his charismatic voice and guitar playing, but also the meaningful lyrics, which are so typical for his work."
Ha - Osef (Galei Zahal)
1 recommendation
"Galei Zahal, the IDF radio and broadcasting station, published this 2-CD compilation of the best of the best of favourite songs aired in the recent years. You will recognize the songs, probably, but they come in really nice new interpretations, by such reknown singers such as Yehudit Ravitz, Boaz Sharabi or Esther Ofarim."
Poogy Tales by Kaveret
1 recommendation
"Kaveret is perhaps "the" Israeli rock band of the 70s. What made them so unique were their songs, often combinations of songs and skits, the witty lyrics and linguistic artistry, and a music style that was quite unique to the scene back then. This is their first album, published in 1973, and it features such famous songs such as "Poogy Tales", "Grocery Store", "The Crux of the Matter", "Ephraims..."
Noa by Achinoam Nini
1 recommendation
"Achinoam Nini, or Noa as the West would know her, had her breakthrough in 1991 with "Achinoam Nini & Gil Dor", a live recording. Every following album has been a success. This here, "Noa", is one of my personal favourites and was published 1994. It contains a mix of songs, though most in English, performed with a touching intensity and dedication that it's a joy to listen. And sing along."
Soldier Of Love by Eyal Golan
1 recommendation
""Soldier Of Love" (1998) was the big breakthrough album of Eyal Golan. Songs like 'Jafa sheli' and 'Liknot Lach Yahalom' were chart breakers and sung even by children. The late 90s and early 2000s saw quite a boom of oriental-influenced songs like these; they were the songs played at weddings and parties, though the usual consensus was that they're quite shmaltzy. But they've got a danceable rhyt..."
60 Years 60 Songs
1 recommendation
"Since Israel turns 60 this year (on May 8th), the Israeli label Hed Arzi has published a sampler which is 3 CDs strong and which takes you on a travel through time and the history of Israeli songs. There are incredibly old recordings to be heard here, as well as songs performed by Israeli stars such as Matti Caspi, Boaz Sharabi and Shlomo Artzi. If you love Israeli music, this is a must purcha..."
60 Shana Vashir (Arik Sinai)
1 recommendation
"Israel turns 60 tonight - time to look at the songs that have shaped the state and its people! Honoring 60 years of music, songs and creativity, this is a compilation of songs which are quite nice. It features famous Israeli musicians such as Arik Sinai, Chava Alberstein, Shoshana Damari, The Parvavim, Arik Einstein, and others. It's like a time travel through decades, but also through tastes..."
