Re: "Iti milvanon" by Nira Hen

[H. Kaufman <hkaufman...>]

It seems that almost all the newer recordings of the classic Israeli
folkdances do not include the lyrics.  This is a shame because the poetry
is so beautiful--it is difficult to match Song of Songs, for example. So
one must go back to the old recordings to hear the way these songs should
sound. For iti milvanon, I already listed two good vocals and someone
mentioned Shoshana Damari, one of Israels greatest singers (who I just saw
at the Karmiel Dance Festival together with Yaffa Yarkoni singing their
classic songs).  Here is the data on the Shoshana Damari recording:
