Yes, this might be something of interest to people wanting to hear the
classic folk music of Israel created primarily in the period prior to and
during the two or three decades after the founding of the State in 1948. 
This wonderful music was used for the beautiful folk dances of that time
which are still being done today, thereby preserving the music (some of it
influenced by eastern European, Yemenite and other Jewish ethnic groups
from various parts of the world). 

Here is some of the bare bones information:
