Have you listened to the free download on Jdub's web site? A compilation of disco and funk
from the 70's and 80's. Your connection for kosher disco. perfect. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can find the download here.Here's some info about the mix.
We are proud to present Soulico's new FREE mixtape titled Archeology: A Deep Dig Into Israeli Grooves

It's an hour full of Hasidic Disco, Spirutal Soul, Yamanite Funk, Turkish Acid Rock, Arabic Jazz & much more, all recorded & released in Israel by local musicians & artists in the 70's and early 80's. 95% of the tunes were never reissued on CD and were fairly obscure even when they originally came out. This is the result of a decade of digging in Tel-Aviv's record shops & Flea markets.
E. forwards a link to a bizarre discussion on Yeshiva World about the 'obligation' of a groom to pay his friend's transportation to his wedding. Unreal!

He also forwards a link to an article, "Controversy Surrounding Musical Career Daughter of Haredi Tycoon Joseph Gutnick."

J. forwards a copy of a poster advertising a concert an event and writes:
An evening of Chizuk indeed! Definitely not a concert Chas V'shalom!


PT emails a link to "some videos of a few of the blues tunes we did at Summerfest."
