    Perhaps you might want to consider some Jewish music and not the drivel that passes for Jewish music.

    cantoresq: What is your idea of “real” Jewish music?

    Joseph: music based on authentic Jewish modes and scales. Although, that too is a slight misnoer since those modes and scales are based upon Greek tetrachords. But considering that those terachord and pentatonic scales were modified around 2000 years ago into Jewish modes and scales, I’m comfortble calling them “authentic Jewish.”

    I like the Chevra, Lev Tahor, and Shalsheles.

    D’veykus is probably my favorite. They have 6 CDs out, all several years old, but excellent nonetheless.

    I would also recommend Ruach and Ruach Revival. Those CDs are even older than D’veykus, but I’m partial to them because my uncle was in the band 🙂

    jewishfeminist02- you couldv’e written that you simply like choirs! I personally don’t like the Chevra since they don’t use genuine music and their style is way too American, still they make a change!

    Shalsheles- great stuff especially Shalsheles Junior!

    cantoresq- are you really a cantor?

    I have 2 cd’s from Yitzchak Simcha, for some reason no one I know has heard of him, but I love those 2 CD’s(My kids are sick of them). And Dveykus, oh my goodness, that’s old, (probably a classic and should be a staple in your music collection) I know I bought one casette when I first got married 17 years ago, but they are very nice old melodies and relaxing, not rocky at all. Me ya’la behar Hashem, uhh Mi Yakom B’makom Kodesho, La La La,… I am thinking about that song write now, beautiful,(sigh) just beautiful. I think I may need to find some Dveykus CD’s.

    I think Ari Goldwag had an album a few years ago that was “bluefringish”. Called Flippin’ In Pure Soul. try it.

    what about like Soulfarm? Noah Salomon? (I’m honestly not even sure of the name I doubt I ever even listened to it) btw, are you just basing that on the general Ari Goldwag albums because I remember hearing that one and thinking it was soooo different than the other ones.

    Ames: “But I’m listening to his other stuff and it’s kinda getting on my nerves.”

    Yes, I know, sometimes his stuff is too rough for me too. I guess I have 3 or 4 of his CDs and there’s one I like more than the others, but I can’t think which one it is.

    Yosef Karduner, Aharon Razel, Gil Akibayov, Udi Davidi, Amir Benayoun, Shem Tov Levy, Yehuda Glantz are others from Israel who you might check out, if you haven’t already listened to them.

    “noitallmr- how interesting because i like all different type of music- all the singers i posted are different. that is really funny. “

    Yeah I know that’s why I was so surprised to see your list because my taste is also all over the music scene- sefardi-litvish the works. But I suppose the common denominator of all the songs and singers are that they have good voices and musical songs!!!

    ames, I’m not sure I’m understanding this (said in a questioning tone, not an accusatory tone) you want a CD that sounds goyish so it would affect you in which way?

    I get you. If you allow little old me to express an opinion, I dont think someone who would write a song that would affect you in the same was as an authentic “goyish” song, is a song you would want to listen to and consider jewish.

    My best advice would be to get hold of some “oldies” there are some excellent songs that are completely kosher.

    ames, there is one song (goyish) from maybe the 60’s (I’m not really sure, wasnt around to hear it come out for the first time) Its a beautiful song with very good music and the words are from koheles.

    yes, IMO, there are worse things to do than listen to clean (I’m not saying so-so clean, I mean clean clean) goyish music.

    lol, no. I’m just saying there are very good, quality songs that are goyish but are probably more “kosher” than some of the “jewish” songs out today. btw, do you know the song I’m talking about?

    ames- I’m still racking my brain. I’m so into music it’s killing me that I can’t put my finger on what you like. Sounds like you side with Israeli music- did you try Gadi Elbaz, Itzik Orlev and Chaim Yisroel?

    know all about it ames- my music budget outdoes any of my other expenses. But I made myself a promise a few years back that I’d never scrimp on music, no matter what. I’ve been goin strong ever since 😉
