Moshe Telem ‎– Telamim Two - Israeli Folk Dances with Moshe Telem (LP)

The LP offers a rich blend of traditional Jewish melodies and early Israeli folk music. The percussion and basslines are prominent in the mix, making the time signatures very easy for dancers to follow. Expect an authentic sound characteristic of that era, featuring a prominent role for accordion, flutes, and acoustic guitars, with occasional early synthesizers or brass instruments carrying the melodies.

On this acclaimed LP you will find a perfect balance between understated circle dances and energetic group dances. The album opens on side A with the beautiful, romantic "Ki Tovim Dode'cha Miyain" and the captivating "Sa'eni Imcha Bnachol," immediately followed by rhythmic tracks such as "Basabasi" and "Omrim Yeshna Eretz."

Side B kicks off immediately with a powerful Hora Medley—the ultimate highlight of any Israeli dance evening—followed by beloved melodies such as Gavanim and Shirat Hanoar.

For active folk dancers, cultural historians, or enthusiasts of authentic world music on vinyl, Moshe Telem's Israeli Folk Dances is an absolute must-have. This is not background music for a quiet dinner, but a lively historical document that instantly invites you to join hands and move together in a circle.
