Hi Guys,

I thought I'd seen it all, but I obviously haven't!

I've long been a fan a Reggae music and recognized alot of Jewish themes in Reggae music, including the tunes from one of the greats: Bob Marley. Hearing words like "Zion" are very common in Reggae music. I once even saw a Passover Reggae soundtrack (I think it's still at Amazon.com). I can only imagine...

Well, now, that whole convention is being flipped on its head with a Hassidic (Ultra-orthodox Jewish) Reggae music artist. check out Matisyahu:

I haven't heard his tunes yet, but, WOW! What a trip!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
