I don't know how many of you have have heard the music of Socalled.
What he is doing, is taking old Klezmer albums, and mixing them into hip-hop beats. He throws in an accordian, and some stunning lyrics, and manages to create some of the most interesting music I have heard in a while.
His song, "You are Never Alone", really gained him some exposure, having been seen on youtube a couple million times.
The woman is singing, "Tonight I look to the stars, and they say Kaddish for me." It drips with sentimentality, and heritage, while still being cool and relevent.
I dig it!

Pretty cool!
It has a lot of everything--Klezmer--hip hop--beautiful lyrics from the female singer and the male chorus singing has the sound of the old 1930s movie musicals.
Thank you for posting this.
