Customer Reviews

There are some worthwhile tracks here
There's a fairly decent variety on this CD. But there's so much more that Amazon doesn't carry - if you want a rock beat, try artists like Oif Simchas or Piamenta. There are great wedding albums by Neginah. And among the best is "What A Wedding in Overtime". Unfortunately, they're not available on Amazon - so try http://www.mostlymusic.com instead, you won't regret it when everyone at the wedding is dancing up a storm!

in the mood for celebrating
Well, I'm certainly not an expert in Jewish music, and I've just recently begun to feel any real interest in Klezmer and popular Jewish music. So if you read this review and have any prior advanced knowledge of this kind of music, I advice you to listen carefully to the samples first. I bought this CD as a sort of introduction because the price was great.And I think it is good value! All the pieces are instrumental, danceable, and they conjure a happy mood. They convey an atmosphere of summer open-air celebration that remind me of the summer festivals of my childhood in Spain. In fact, and although these songs probably originated in Central Europe, they are not so different from the popular waltzes and paso-dobles that are played at night verbenas accross Southern Europe. It is the kind of music that makes you want to dance and shout To Life!
