The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree

Today I had an amazing experience. I went to see the band "The Apples" play at something called the big stage by the suzanne dellal center in the neve tzedek area of Tel Aviv. This Israeli band is comprised of two djs that play in neon green jump suits a la daft punk with a full horn section, drummer and cello player. It was upbeat funk music and I danced for hours in the sun at a venue 1/100 the size of Central Park Summerstage.

I went alone to the venue and met a bunch of people into the psy trance party scene. We danced and shared beers and I discovered amazing Israeli music. I need to tell the guys from the Budos Band about the Apples. I think they'll really like them.

I keep getting Israeli music recommendations from hep cats and high rollers. Here is a list of some more people to check out:

Shlomo Artzy
Meir Ariel
Muki - Hip Hop
Mosh Ben Ari- Rastafari
Mashina
The Giraffes
MC Carolina

My friends brother also loves Bob Marley's "Redemption Song." It's the only song he can play on guitar but to be fair it's my only song too! I played for them Jose Gonzalez "Heartbeats" and now he's learning that too.
