5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best I have ever heard., July 13, 2000

I remember having listened to Shoshana Damari when I was a youngster and Israeli music was hard to get here in Argentina, my country. Her deep voice and her special way of saying things called my attention in a very special way. Listening her now, jumping from Idish classical songs (Es brent) to an Argentine folklore song (Viva Jujuy) without any loss of quality makes me feel happy to discover her music and songs again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exhilarating, heartbreaking, terrific, July 29, 2011

This review is from: Israeli Yiddish Yemenite & Other Folk Songs (Audio CD)

She looks like a Yemeni princess (she was born in Yemen but came - escaped - with her parents to Israel when she was a baby) and sings like an angel in Hebrew, Yiddish, Arabic, Romanian, Turkish and Spanish. The songs are joyous, tragic, tender, whirling, calm, every style and mood imaginable. The accompaniments are superb and the disc contains a generous 29 songs. Very highly recommended.
