This CD offers a selection of songs from the musical tradition of the Bene Israel and was recorded in Bombay (now Mumbai), India in 1996. The songs are performed by male singers and are mostly in Hebrew. A few of the songs are also in Aramaic and Marathi - the regional language of Maharashtra. The songs are by in large related to religious festivals and life cycle events and are accompanied by the harmonium - a small, portable keyboard instrument, with bellows operated by one hand. The main musical influences evident in the recorded pieces are those of the Jews of Cochin, Baghdad and Yemen, as well as those of the local Hindustani culture.
