Title: The Essence of Israel
Product review: This is a wonderful collection of Israeli folk songs. It includes songs with lyrics by well known poets such as Haim Nahman Bialikand 16th century Rabbi Shabazi. The lyrics and instruments give it somewhat of a biblical revival feel which characterizes the Zionist "Old-New" land ideal. These songs are all well known in Israel, sung in campfires, parties, weddings, holidays. I find the performances and the arrangement flawless. If one was looking for music which would be considered most "Israeli" this would be it.
