Matti Caspi is probably my favourite Israeli composer and one of my favourite composer in style included. He is sophisticated, touching and beautiful melodies and harmonies. He is one of the most refered Israeli artist in Israel. I am playing a lot of his tunes and i decided to record one of them: Someone (Michehu in hebrew)
To listen press play below
He has difficult tunes with a lots of modulations and unusual musical structure. Most of his songs can only be sung by him (thank god you won t hear my even try it...). He is very much influenced by brazilian musics (he even lived there) and he adapted many of the hot brazilian standards by Jobim and others in hebrew in a very nice way. I will try to record soon more of them.
One of the best version recorded for that song is by Yeudit Ravitz another great Israeli singer we will talk about soon.
Here is a great site dedicated to matti caspi both in english and hebrew.
