Knesiat HaSechel (כנסיית השכל) - Israeli Rock

Wanted to share something again. It's been some time. Yea, I know. Don't spend so much time watching youtube as I used to. But still enough, hehe. Knesiat HaSechel is an Israeli rock band from Tel Aviv. This is I believe their first professional video clip, but I could be wrong, if anybody knows, please comment.

כנסיית השכל-ידיים למעלה
I love the video, it's so beautiful.
Here's the band's Myspace.

Yasmin Levy - Ladino music

Yasmin Levy is an Israeli artist singing in the Ladino language, the language of the Sephardic Jews. Pretty understandable if you've got some knowledge of Spanish or another Romance language. Wonderful tunes, inspired by Flamenco of Andalusia and Arabic and of course Jewish influence. She has already been among the Nominees of BBC World Music Award 2006 in the category 'culture crossing' and this year for Mid East and North Africa. Just follow all the links on BBC there's a lot of music samples, even including a complete concert of her from 2005. Have a listen!

בית הבובות Beit Habubot

Unfortunately there's not much online for this band from Israel--that means I haven't found any mp3s downloadable for free-- but at least youtube makes it possible to give you a little impression of this band.
Below the song סיגפו/Sigapo

The Idan Raichel Project - A Singer with Two Countries


On the two albums the songs are mainly in Hebrew, some in Aramaic but also feature parts of other languages like the one above features Hindi for example.
They are definitely worth to be tried out.

HaDag Nachash (הדג נחש) - Israeli Hiphop


HaDag Nachash is an Israeli Hip Hop band, famous for their song Shirat Hasticker in which every line sung actually depicts a slogan from one of the many bumper stickers on the cars in Israel which often contain more or less "political" slogans. The song as a whole so "creates an" atmosphere "of angry irony", to quote the wikipedia article of the song.
Listen to the bumper sticker song here and check out their website here.
