Mizrahi Music (my opinon best genre of Jewish music)
« on: July 27, 2010, 05:57:09 PM »
Mizrahi music refers to the genre of Middle Eastern style of Israeli Music. It combines elements of Arabic, Turkish, and Greek music, brought to Israel by Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews. It is usually sung in Hebrew, but may often be combined with lyrics in Arabic or other languages from lands where Jewish Israeli artists may trace their most recent ancestral descent patterns.
Typical Mizrahi songs will have a dominant violin or string sound as well as Middle Eastern percussion elements.

Some popular singers

Moshik Afia (Lebanese Jew)
Zohar Argov (Yemenite Jew)
Yaniv Ben Mashiach (Western Sephardi)
Stalos and Oren Chen (Greek Jews)
Eyal Golan (Yemenite/Moroccan Jew)
Ofra Haza (Yemenite Jew)
Sarit Hadad (Kavkazi)
Kobi Peretz (Moroccan Jew)
Idan Yaniv (Bukharian Jew)
Rinat Bar (Georgian Jew)

When a user named Yesha on here had a question and answer program, he used to play some of that music sometimes on it. It was nice sounding.
