by Eyal Hareuveni

by Dan McClenaghan
Satoko Fujii has a rock and roll soul and heart, judging from the opening cut on Sanrei, by her Orchestra Nagoya.

Shakers N' Bakers: YFZ (Yearning For Zion)

Amina Figarova: Above the Clouds
by J Hunter
On September Suite (Munich, 2005), Amina Figarova's inspiration was one of the biggest events this generation may ever know--the September 11th attacks, and their psychological aftermath.
