Re: Indian - Iraqi 78's

It is my (non-expert) understanding that there is skme relationship between the 
music of the Iranian and Iraqi Jews and the Bukharin Jews, who have an active 
communty in Queens.  The community includes some musical groups.

  I have just come across a number of 78s which came from a Jew whom I am told 
lived in India until 1947.
  Does anyone have any info on any of  the following recordings:

    Simeon Jacob on the King record label made in Bombay . They include Adon 
Alom and Hatikvah and are sung in Hebrew to an oriental accompaniment.

  Selim Daoud on the Baidaphone  and Odeon labels

  Jsshac Maroudy on Baidaphon

  Hazzan Solomon Mouallim (Iraqi)on HMV  singing Socca Welolab

  There are also some Odeon test pressings but they only have arab script which 
I cant read but they do of course have matrix numbers which I could let anyone 
who is interested have.
