San Francisco (California), USA - The Rough Guide collection has released The Rough Guide to the Music of Israel this month in North America.

Israeli music reflects the diversity of its people and combines European influences, including Sephardic, Russian and Yiddish folk songs, with Arabic and Palestinian folk music and the energetic rhythms of Yemen and North Africa. Featuring many of the nation’s musical giants such as Ofra Haza and Chava Alberstein, The Rough Guide To The Music Of Israel presents a snapshot of a fascinating and continually evolving musical culture.

The Rough Guide to the Music of Israel (RGNET1168CD) includes Tea Packs, Ofra Haza, Kol – Oud - Tof Trio, Idan Raichel’s Project, Bustan Abraham, Shlomo Bar & David D’Or, Chava Alberstein, Arik Einstein, Yasmin Levy, Israeli Andalusian Orchestra, Yair Dalal & The Alol Ensemble, Emil Zrihan, Zehava Ben and Hadag Nahash
