The Israeli music world is still reeling from the loss of Yitzchak Klepter: composer, singer, and a *mean* guitarist. Most of us know his name very well from his time in the legendary 'Kaveret' ('Yo Ya', anyone?), but that just scratches the surface. Klepter was responsible for so much of the Israeli music we know and love, behind hit songs for Gidi Gov, Gali Atari, Arik Einstein and many others. Yitzchak Klepter passed away on December 8, 2022 at age 72, and we think you'll be surprised by some of the tunes you'll hear on our special tribute to his music. (Original Air Date: December 18, 2022)
