There have been some recordings released in Israel by Ethiopian Jewish
Choirs...they are made up usually of smaller children and have a very
soothing, spiritual sound to them. The only such recording I actually own
is a CD that Shlomo Gronich (Israeli singer/songwriter) made using such
a choir as back-up. Although I purchased it in Israel I've seen in
for sale in American jewish bookstores.
