First, I want to thank you for visiting this web site. This site is very special to me because I have fulfilled an old dream. Indeed, I have wanted to create an Israeli music site for years, without finding the time or the courage to do it.

     I did this site because I wanted to, not because I had to. I have not been sponsored by any record company or artists and all the comments that you will find here are strictly personal. This site reflects the opinion I have of the rich and diverse Israeli music world.

     Due to space limitation, I had to make a selection of what I wanted to present here. In other words, this is not an exhaustive site. Still, I tried to cover as many different artists as possible and give an overview of the main singers. One other criteria was the quality of the artists, or to be honest,  the quality upon my own standards. Therefore, some people may find my selection subjective. I admit that it may be, but as I said, my main objective was to present a different and original picture of Israeli music.

    I did my very best to make this site attractive, interesting, and also easy to browse. The organization of the site is very simple: singers are alphabetically sorted with a short description, then each artist has his/her own page with more information about him/her and his/her songs. There is also a shortcut where you can find the list of all my "highly recommended" CDs, still with a short review of them.

     This site is merely a starting point. I want to pass on to you my passion for Israeli music, hoping that you will want to discover more about this great musical culture.

     In any case, I sincerely hope that you will like this site and enjoy your visit.

     Please, if you have any comments, suggestions or questions, do not hesitate to email me. I will gladly welcome any feedback to improve this site, or build a network of Israeli music friends!!

     Thanks, and enjoy!
