Funk is an interesting description of this-not much James Brown or Funkadelic to my ears. Cool, though!

Was there different musical sounds produced by Yemenite, Syrian, and Egyptian immigrants to Israel? Curious.
Avatar 8:16pm
Observations:

Excellent question doctorjazz. I think so, but most information is not in English so it's hard to know exactly. but there are regional differences.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:16pm
doctorjazz:

Were there different...pardon my grammar...
  8:18pm
Listener Gregory:

I’d love to know what the percussion was in that last song (Sea of Passion). It sounded like garbage can lids.
  8:29pm
Doug Schulkind:

Using a garage can lid? He could play for the Astros.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 8:40pm
WR:

Enjoying the interview.
  8:48pm
Listener Gregory:

My can lid guess may have been spot-on, surprisingly.

David, if we don’t know whether a substance is legal in the US, then it probably isn’t.

doctorjazz:

I was at a family wedding (a nephew married a girl of Syrian Jewish heritag), this AwaDeak sounds a bit more like what the 20 year olds danced to when the DJ played for them (with the disco dub-swells added).

Can’t stay to the end, but very interesting show, David. Thanks!

This (La Sama) sounds like it could be German Rock.

The Yemeni vibe is coming through.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:12pm
doctorjazz:

But the drum part is so odd...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:13pm
doctorjazz:

It almost sounds like it could be a free jazz drummer, counter to the rhythm at times.

Raz Mesinai, under his Badawi guise, took music of this tradition and put it through a dub/illbient treatment (all instrumental).
