yo Sammy,
does the tin percussion from the Yemeni Jewish tradition still survive? Ive heard old recordings of tribal Jews from Yemen (when they were still in
Yemen) playing the hell out of what sounded like tin plates with timbre, kind of like the morrocan castenets, but sick!
I'm just wondering, I know traditions get lost (like in israel or even the pop scenes in egypt and lebanon where, unfortunately, fake keyboard sounds
replace good ole' sweat and caluses...)

hell yah i got a awesome tin can. and yes it still has a big role in our music but now aday i under stand what u mean about everythign changing
with keyboard and ll .
its basicly a large garbage tin that they use soemthign thast very light and has a a great sound . and its used for chantting music like prayers
and prayer like stuff.
but now lik eyou said even though they still use the sound its made by keyboard and stuff
thx sammy

thank God- you know how things get lost, and whoever usually "recovers" these lost cultural elements often romantisize them and produce over the top,
crap... sorry, I'm just passionate about our peoples (Semites, specifically) keeping our 'ish tight, you know?
