| Home to an already diverse and sometimes fractious population, with
| additional settlers arriving every day from Europe, the Americas, and
| Africa, modern Israel is one of the world's most cosmopolitan, colorful
| and inclusive musical melting pots. As new arrivals have made their
| mark, centuries-old Hebrew and Arabic sources have been joined by
| African, American, and Caribbean grooves, along with cutting edge
| electronica and quotes from various urban art-song traditions. For
| example, other than the language, Rona Kenan and Gidi Gov's "Ha'rikud
| Ha'muzar Shel Ha'lev," with its waltz-like tempo and accordion-laced
| back-up, would sound completely at home in a Parisian cafΘ, as would
| Tea Packs' "Vehapa'am Shir Ahava," with its graceful vocal curlicues.
| "Srochim," by revered folksinger David Broza, is redolent of the
| artist's extended sojourns in Spain and the USA. Meanwhile, Hadas
| Dagul's "Seret Eelem" reflects his homeland's long-standing love affair
| with Brazilian bossa nova. Several artists are making an effort to work
| with and reach out to both established and emerging local communities.
| Amal Murkus, a Palestinian from Galilee, has incorporated age-old
| folkways into her mix, and Idan Raichel has established warm
| collaborative ties with immigrant musicians from Ethiopia, creating a
| polished, homegrown brand of pop. It's astonishing that such a tiny
| nation could harbor so many voices. But isn't this exactly as it should
| be? --Christina Roden
