More often than we think, new connections between Jewish, Israeli and Arab people, create their own unique interferencing waves, reverberating in their own space and leave the Israeli Arabic conflict behind them. Look at the Israeli Transsexual singer Aderet on top of the Lebanese song chart, (Jun 27, 2008). Who is Aderet? Is she the new [...]

I discover that Cheikha Rimitti (1923 - 2006)[1], queen of Raï has died. Arab music is a whole universe in itself, its connection to world music and world culture obvious from this map. Here is an excellent piece by Farid El-Atrash [2] My first foray on this blog in Arab music[3]. Our first exposure to Arab music in the [...]

With Cosmic Disco?! Cosmic Rock!!, legendary Italian out-disco DJ dives anew into a field he helped pioneer with a muscular work-out of a mix on Eskimo Recordings, one that follows-up weirdo-dance acolyte Prins Thomas’ meticulous curatorial effort, Cosmo Galactic Prism, from last year. In the early '80s, Baldelli gained his reputation for effectively inventing a deejaying style out of thin air: His...

Two more contributions to the Seven Songs meme are in: Jams nominates great tracks by Ofra Haza, Dead Can Dance and others. Unfortunately, the Darya Davar YouTube clip is now down, but there's plenty more from this wonderful singer. He also nominates "The Forest" by the Cure. I don't like the Cure that much, but that's one of their songs I like the most. Roland nominates a gorgeous version of " La...

"The Temple Mount is in our hands." The words spoken joyously by General Motta Gur, on retaking the Temple Mount, after 19 years of being forbidden access to the holiest of our sites.A year ago we celebrated 40 years that a united Jerusalem has been in our hands.

The Boneshakers, you might say, are a danceable roots rock version of Steely Dan -- two songwriters, instrumentalists, vocalists (Randy Jacobs and Sweet Pea Atkinson) compose tart, biting songs and perform them with ensembles of guest musicians, some bearing impressive credentials (in this case, critical fave Jon Butcher among them). Jacobs and Atkinson had previously worked together with Was (Not...

Friday night on a slow news day, what to do? My favorite thing to do when I'm bored is put up Ofra Haza again - I love this lady and her singing. The world lost a wonderful singer and a great uniter when she died. Previously posted: Todays Change Of Pace Redux - Ofra Haza: If Only Her Message Of Peace In the ME Were Heeded

With her striking, Middle Eastern beauty, she was the sister every Israeli would like to have had: talented, warm, spontaneous, unspoiled. She was a cliché -- the ninth child of poor Yemenite immigrants, a star who made it from the back streets of South Tel Aviv to Hollywood, then came home. But she transcended the cliché. Ofra was Israel's pop star laureate. Her fans spanned generations and ethnic...

As we learn today that Israeli troops have again moved into Gaza , exchanging fire with Palestinian militants, after explosions rocked the army post near the Kissufim crossing between Israel and the centre of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, it seems like a good time to pull out an old post for today's "change of pace" and put up a piece on someone that has been said to have bridged the divide between Israel...
