Come to think of it, I have heard some Yiddish music enthusiasts (commonly 
known as Klezmer Geeks) criticize Israeli music as being unauthentic and too 
Western sounding. I wonder if some Israelis have been attracted to Greek folk 
music because it has more of the Eastern folk music to it, compared to what 
some people call Israeli "fakelore."
