Let it rain & let it rain music! So many great live shows coming up! Mark your calendars – the International Music Showcase Festival for jazz & world music begins on November 8th & goes through the 11th (rock & indie opens on the 15th). Tickets for the showcase range from 20 – 40 NIS and sell out fast – so order yours now. It’s a great opportunity to get to know the Israeli music scene in all its diversity.
One of my favorites – System Ali will be performing at the Tmuna International Festival. This is System Ali at InDNegev 2016 – the photo is by the terrific music photographer Muperphoto. The next photo shows the crowd going wild!
