Amazon editors have lately chosen the top 100 international music albums of all times. The widely acclaimed Israeli ensemble Idan Raichel project has made it to the Amazon list of best International Music.
Idan Raichel writes the lyrics of the songs and sings several songs in his three albums. The music is a unique mix of electronics, biblical texts, traditional blessings, traditional Ethiopian and Yemenite music. Most of his texts are written in Hebrew, some in Amharic or including passages in foreign languages. One of his songs was translated to Spanish –Cada Dia.
Many of the texts are essentially Jewish: “You are beautiful” Hinech Yafa, for example, is inspired by the Song of Songs.
