RE: Hava Nagilah

[Helena Hansson <helena...>]

A wonderful Balkan brass style version can be found on the cd "Blow Besir Blow" 
by Jova Stojiljkovic Besir and His Brass Orkestar. The track on the cd is 
called "Izrael Orijent". The record label is GlobeStyle Records (UK) and record 
number cdorbd 038.
