Ta-Shma- Voice of My Beloved



















The voice is silenced.

The key to enjoying Ta-Shma is to eliminate any thoughts of Matisyahu. Yeah, he's a guest on the new release Come Listen, and there are indeed plenty of similarities between the new acts. But Ta-Shma calls itself "Hasidic Hip-Hop"- not "Hasidic reggae"- at their MySpace account. The intriguing work by eclectic clarinetist Andy Statman on this song of faith makes Ta-Shma wholly unique.

I saw Ramsey Lewis Saturday night; my review is here. I've also rediscovered his funk album Sun Goddess. Even at this late date, it sounds amazing.

I wonder if I'm the only person on the planet who will buy the new releases from Tupac Shakur and the Beatles tomorrow?

I am buying neither but I am enjoying the free stream of the Beatles at their official Web site.

Lots of people buy things for their grandparents this time of year. ;)

ever hear of a little thing called copyrights? Why are you linking to this song for free, help support artists and PAY for music.
