The Muzika Mizrachit movement started in the 1950s with h omegrown performers in neighborhoods with a high concentration of Jews fro m Arab countries who would play at weddings and other events. They perform ed songs in Hebrew\, but in an Arabic style\, on traditional Arabic instru ments—the oud\, kanun\, and the darbuka. In the 1960s\, they added acous tic and electric guitar to their sound and so their sound became more ecle ctic. Vocalists usually decorated their singing with trills\, and delivery was often nasal or guttural in sound. Intonation was typically Western\, however\; singers did not use the quartertone scales typical of Arabic mus ic. Into the 1980s synthesizers and electronic instruments made their debu t in Mizrachi music.\n\nThe first Mizrachi artist of this era was the Moro ccan-born Jo Amar\, who through the 1950s and 1960s made several albums an d songs contributing to the genre\, mostly influenced by Moroccan music. A nother notable if foreign artist that helped contribute to the young genre was Aris San\, who helped popularize Greek music in Israel in the 1960s a nd 1970s with his distinct rock style on traditional Greek songs.\n\nLyric s were originally texts taken from classic Hebrew literature\, including p oems by medieval Hebrew poets. Later they added texts by Israeli poets\, a nd began writing original lyrics as well. Singers also translated childhoo d favorites from Arabic to Hebrew and added electronics and a faster tempo .\nFor more info contact: Jason Hecht\n\n\n\n \;\n\n[ninja_form id=20] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n CATEGORIES:Israeli & Jewish Music Affinity Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20241103T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
