Sephardi/Mizrahi Music
Eliezer Ben Avraham:
I like it, and sounds too muslim is simply because the person answering doesnt know how to differentiate
RationalThought110:
Is it similar to Matisyahu's music?
Dominater96:
Um Kaltoom is is good.
Ehud:
I've never heard Ladino music, but it sounds interesting. I don't have much to base my opinion of Sephardic/Mizrachi music except from what I hear in Israel, and based on what I've heard in Israel I don't really like it, and yes, it sounds too Muslimy to me. I don't like the arabic scale, and regardless if one thinks there's a difference between it and arab music, the scales, instruments, and singing style was all invented by arabs. That's not to say that there isn't fantastic and beautiful Sephardic/Mizrachi music, I'm sure there's plenty of it, I just haven't heard any because I haven't attempted to ever find the good stuff. I'm not a big fan of that singing style, I'm sure it could be done beautifully, but most of what I've heard is brash and overdone.

this is a great Mizrahi song in Russian, the singer is Bukharian and he singing about a Kavkazi city called Baku

Yes, this song is alright. I think the singing style can be nice and full of expression if done correctly. This guy has a nice voice. I like the accordion too, but this one is a synthesized one. A problem that plagues this sort of music is the instrumentation. Most of the time it's done with synthesizers, and I'm not a big fan of that sort of sound, it's like listening to computer music for me. I would enjoy the music much more if it was all done with actual instruments, do you know of any that features real instruments?
