Re: Jewish music

I do not think that Klezmer is inherently Jewish.
Recently I came across some Turkish music, and if you shut your
eyes, you can see (Lehavdil) Chassidim dancing around.

The only Jewish music we have is the Layning (reading the Torah)
which has a Trop (rudimentary system of encoding music) of which
there are three or four varieties. Even these have suffered the
effects of dispersement.

Perhaps an exception is `Az Yashir' the song the Jews sand at the
splitting of the red sea. It sounds pretty similar wherever I go
(although I haven't heard how Sefaradim sing it).
