Re: survey of who is doing what jewish music

Dear all,

My primary interest is Sephardic music (as differentiated from Muzikah
Mizrahit/Mediterranit,) Within that genre, i prefer Sephardi popular
music(cantigas, romanzas, dirges, etc.)  to liturgical music.

I would love to see more discussions of Sephardi music, and would be happy
to facilitate. (I am currently preparing a comprehensive discography of
Sephardic music, and when I have a draft ready, will ask the list's help in
vetting and improving it.)

Having said that, I expect that the list topics will naturally gravitate
towards the collective interests of it's participants, and that seems to be
Klezmer!

B'shalom,

Joel
