home, this foreign singer of sweetness, because the children of Israel were strangers in the
land of Egypt and because the nation of Israel is brought home at the same time. Indeed,

from a Sephardic origin. Many songs are translated from Greek into Hebrew like Manuel and

Product Name: Glykeria: Sweet Sorrow, Israel Music 1 CD 1998
:Meta Description
Sweet Sorrow by Glykeria is a wonderful CD of both beautiful greek songs and songs of
Israel. Glykeria has Israeli guest appearances from Riki Gal, Shlomo Bar and Chava
Alberstein. The first half of the CD is all in Hebrew and the second half is greek. All the

:Short Description

with Glykeria on the one CD platinum album, Sweet Sorrow. Glykeria performs both
traditional and contemporary Israel and Greek music. She is a famous Greek and Israel
.female singer
:Long Description
Sweet Sorrow by Glykeria is a collection of traditional and contemporary Hebrew and Greek
music. The songs are delightful to listen to with or without understanding the words. Glykeria
sings with perfect pronunciation of the Hebrew language and her mesmerizing voice carries a
warm heartfelt interpretation that makes the music easy listening music.+Glykeria embraces
her Jewish audience with the song, In the Village of Todra with a guest performance by
Shlomo Bar. The song explains the Hassidic custom to drip honey on the Hebrew letters while
giving children of five years of age the chance to lick the honey off so that the taste of the
letters should be sweet. It is an old custom originally taken from the Psalms of David,
119:103, 'May the words of G-d be sweet to your taste, sweeter than honey to your mouth.' In
early days, honey was considered a sign of G-d's favor. The song is sung by Glykeria with
the sensitivity of a jewish mother, humble yet with a sense of pride too. Another song on the
CD, Prayer of Mothers, also carries a very sweet sensitivity but has no connection to the
hassidic song.+Contemporary Israel songs are Please Don't Ask, Take Him with Riki Gal and
The Exclusive Garden with a guest appearance from Chava Alberstein. The Greek songs
serve to compliment the Israel songs and show the distinctions for the two kinds of Mizrahi
music. Greeks Jews are part of the Sephardic culture and share in the Mizrahi music. Greek
music can be contemporary and not always sounding like Zorba The Greek. However, it is a
music of the free spirit and encourages the freedom to dance!+List of Songs: 1. Please Don't
Ask 2. Take Him (with Riki Gal) 3. In the Village of Todra (with Shlomo Bar) 4. The
Exclusive Garden (with Chava Alberstein) 5. Prayer of Mothers 6. Alone 7. Have the Taste
