The Muzika Mizrachit movement started in the 1950s with homegrown performers in neighborhoods with a high concentration of Jews from Arab countries who would play at weddings and other events. They performed songs in Hebrew\, but in an Arabic style\, on traditional Arabic instruments—the oud\, ka nun\, and the darbuka. In the 1960s\, they added acoustic and electric gui tar to their sound and so their sound became more eclectic. Vocalists usua lly decorated their singing with trills\, and delivery was often nasal or guttural in sound. Intonation was typically Western\, however\; singers di d not use the quartertone scales typical of Arabic music. Into the 1980s s ynthesizers and electronic instruments made their debut in Mizrachi music. \n\nThe first Mizrachi artist of this era was the Moroccan-born Jo Amar\, who through the 1950s and 1960s made several albums and songs contributing to the genre\, mostly influenced by Moroccan music. Another notable if fo reign artist that helped contribute to the young genre was Aris San\, who helped popularize Greek music in Israel in the 1960s and 1970s with his di stinct rock style on traditional Greek songs.\n\nLyrics were originally te xts taken from classic Hebrew literature\, including poems by medieval Heb rew poets. Later they added texts by Israeli poets\, and began writing ori ginal lyrics as well. Singers also translated childhood favorites from Ara bic to Hebrew and added electronics and a faster tempo.\nFor more info con tact: 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
