I Remember the Feenjon

"Thirty-odd years ago, on weekend nights, I was generally to be found at the Feenjon Cafe in New York's Greenwich Village--a small, smoky club where I first heard many of the songs on this album. These songs were my introduction to the wonderfully vibrant and evocative Jewish, Israeli, and Arabic music of Eastern Europe and the Middle East. There were other records of Greek songs, Turkish songs by the Feenjon Group, and I bought them all. However, this album is the jewel in the crown if, for no other reason, than Margalit's "Rachel, Rachel" and "Erev Shel Shoshanim.""
