Aug. 3rd, 2008 09:53 pmI've been playing with Pandora Radio lately, and with mostly positive results.
One station, though has been a bit confusing. Back in the day, I used to regularly listen to a radio show from Tampa called "Sunday Simcha" which played all sorts of Jewish music. I've had a long-lived affection for klezmer music, but discovered a fondness for Yemenite music as well. Finding klezmer on Pandora is fairly difficult, but Yemenite music has been even more difficult. I can't find my favourite- a chanteuse named Adina Orazi (or possibly Arazi), who had a voice i can only describe as liquid sensuality; but can find the somewhat similar (and much better-known) Ofra Haza. Unfortunately, i've yet to hear even a single Ofra Haza song on Pandora's Ofra Haza channel. I've heard Sarah Brightman, Dido, a bunch of Björk sound-alikes, even Annie Lennox, U2 and Duran Duran (!?!). No Ofra Haza. Nothing even resembling Yemenite- or even Jewish- music yet. Weird. Anyone have any suggestions which might unlock a world of Yemenite vocalists?
