You’ll
love the exciting music of the Ethiopian fusion that is
taking Israeli popular culture by storm and bringing African
idioms into the mainstream.
In
raw and moving bursts of music energy, Idan Reichel Project mixes Ethiopian folk
music with Israel's multicultural sounds on hymns and intimate love songs. Their
album is an ambient world music crossover masterpiece. Mesmerizing
blend of African idioms into mainstream Israeli music!
