Celebrating Operation Solomon for Ethiopion Jewry with Zvuloon Dub System
Today marked the 20th anniversary of Operation Solomon, the start of a decades long aliya - return to Israel - for thousands of Ethiopian Jews.
This evening a festival was held in the city of Rehovot featuring amazingly groovy tunes from the band, Zvuloon Dub System.
I’ve lately be discovering incredible music out of Israel. Yiddish Rock, Techno Rock and now Reggae. Well I like Reggae a great deal, so that probably helps, but I think this band is awesome. They get pretty jazzy near the end of this tune. The guitar player is very good! I haven’t listened to all their songs, but I found their channel.
This is “Going to Zion” and is about, in fact, the emigration of Ethiopian Jewry to Israel
