Jewish Music (New CDs, hock, and opinions)

[Euclid]

Rivie is singing with his grandson Yitzchok Alter.

Wow. Really looks like a Schwebel.

[yungermanchik]

This is a tribute to the success of Bonei Olam's Vzakeini program

And a flashback to the Video from the launch of the program

[YitzyS]

No, this in NOT a throwback advertisement.

I gotta say, I would've won a lottery before I would've guessed this lineup...

Another hit with a classic (yet oh so relevant) message.

And if you have Google play music, it's available there too.

Mendy Wald Sameach - Track 7 Der Kedusha Lebt. IMHO one of the nicer heartfelt songs/albums in Jewish Music.

You can listen to the preview here

P.S. When's Mendy Wald coming out with a new album?!?!?

I was told by someone recently that this song is not originally a jewish song. Can anyone verify? or provide the original?

Wow thanx!


So.... basically a song about אותו איש being crucified was taken and adapted to be about  (להבדיל אלף אלפי הבדלות) the burning of רבי חנינה בן תרדיון!?

Unbelievable....

[Mordyk]

I'm actually looking forward to this.  I really enjoy the energy of both of them. Lets see what they can do together.

LOL, this is by far the worst version of "borrowed" tunes.

I'm a huge fan of Ari Hill's voice. Excited about it too.

(Quick Ari Hill bio: his father is Yonoson Hill, from Elyon. Brother was Dovid Hill a"h. Uncle (full) is Matt Hill, the drummer. Uncle (half) is Rebbe Hill. Grandfather was (obviously) Steven Hill z"l.)

Interesting. So Yonoson became a ger or is Matt Jewish?

Both of Steven's wives were Jewish IINM.

[YitzyS]

Both of Steven's wives were Jewish IINM.

Interesting. I've heard that Matt isn't Jewish, but that was just talk I've heard on the street.

[Euclid]

Yeah me too but over the years I've heard (more reliably) that that isn't true.

According to Wikipedia, his first wife was Selma Stern, which seems as Jewish as it gets.

[Kobe Bryant]

Naftali with another beautiful song.

[Yehuda57]

Jewish History Soundbites did an episode on Jewish Music: Yes, We’ve Got the Music! The Jewish Music Revolution Part I

The next episode of The Jewish History Sportscast was the second in that series, but the
following 2 episodes were on other topics. Let me know when the third one drops, please.
(This sort of thing really needs to be accompanied by playlists of the discussed work.)
