                The Hidden Gate - Jewish Music Around the World

                Street Date: July 1, 2003
                From Biblical beginnings, Jewish culture and music are
found in over 100 countries spanning six continents. While sharing a
strong common history, each geographical region has developed its own
distinct identity. The Hidden Gate samples this vast musical heritage,
featuring Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino and Judeo-Arabic songs from Israeli
legends (Chava Alberstein, Ofra Haza) and captivating Sephardic singers
(Savina Yannatou, Yasmin Levy) to the little heard music of African and
Asian Jews, and the klezmer innovators of Eastern Europe and the New
World (The Klezmatics, The Klezmer Conservatory Band).
                Compiled and annotated by Dan Rosenberg.
