Re: student question

[Francesco Spagnolo <yuval...>]

Judy, Galeet:

Actually, there's an article (30 pages: not a book, of course) by 
Edwin Seroussi in English.
And it is a rather good one:

Seroussi, Edwin.
Popular music in Israel : the first fifty years
Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard College Library, 1996.

Enjoy it!

Francesco
