V.A. - Putumayo Presents A Jewish Odyssey (2000)

Outstanding Putumayo album with songs that reflect a bit of the wide variety of Jewish music, including samples of all the three main categories: Ashkenazi (European), Sephardic (Mediterranean) and Mizrahi (Arabic). Every element of the exotic melodies, instruments, rhythms and lyrics serve as landmarks along the long historical and cultural road traveled by the Jewish people. A musical Odyssey starting from Middle East to almost any part of the world where there is jewish Diaspora. Included you will find a nice booklet with extensive information on all the artists and songs, full of photos. Enjoy a quality putumayo album.
