Re: Songs of the Sephardim

[Ari Davidow <ari...>]

I love it! Ruth has a very special voice, imho. It is also the type of
voice that I remember from listening to sephardic singers in Israel,
which is a more arabic sounding way of singing--closer to Fairuz, 
than, say, listening to Flory Jagoda (who I also love, but who sings 
quite differently) or to the more medievally ethereal stuff that Lauren 
Pomerantz does.

It's not a genre that I know well, so please excuse the horribly 
rough triangulation.
