Hebrew music

Post Reply New Topic

Because of my obsession with Jewish stuff, I've been wanting to listen to Hebrew music. Right now I'm just listening to Yael Naim, but I want to find other artists. I searched on last.fm, but it was mostly world music. I'm not a huge fan of world music. I'm more into indie or electronica. Any recommendations?

Eurovision was awesome in the 70s/80s when orchestras played live and only 6 people were allowed on stage. Back then it was truly about the music and the quality of the musicians. Pretty much alot of songs from different countries were very good and Israel had a surprising amount of underrated music during those decades.

On topic... Hebrew is a guttural language and therefore is very hard to sing unlike English (I know because I sing in Hebrew as well, but like English music more maybe because it is not my 1st language).

I'd recommend israeli classic rock and pop music, sometimes with "jewish" or "ethnic" elements integrated into the songs.
