I'm really getting into what I call ReggaeJew (a play on words on Reggaeton). I LOVE Matisyahu and newcomer TaShma (whom I like more than Matisyahu). Anyone else into them? What other artists in that similar vein are they?

I thought it was really cool that Matisyahu appeared on TaShma's album, helping them out.

Kiss

Umm...the guys who made it ALL happen for Jewish street cred

Beastie Boys



Get PAULS BOUTIQUE right NOW!!!

Are all the guys in Kiss Jewish ?

The Silver Jews, anyone?

Gene and Paul in KISS.

Just noting, I'm not just looking for Jewish musicians. I'm looking for groups like Matisyahu and TaShma. Their lyrics are about praising G-d, religion, peace, etc, but to a reggae beat.

Something tells me that's a niche market.

the last couple of P.O.D. albums have taken on kind of a reggae feel (and Matisyahu is on the most recent one, Testify)

Guster, an amazing acoustic band. All 3 members are jewish.

Im pretty sure those 2 guys completly run the gammit

Jewey Jewenstein and the Jewmans......hahhaha i couldn't resist!!

Larry David and the Hipsters.

Two Live Jews?

He was a rebel Jew, and he died for you and your sins.

I mean, yeah, The Silver Jews. Is "2 Skinnee Js" a Jewish group?

Here's a pretty comprehensive list of Jewish musicians in the US.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ican_Musicians

NOFX...repping punk rock.

David Lee Roth, lights the Menorah...

Looking at the list on wikipedia, I see...

Michael Bolton
Neil Diamond
Kenny G
Barry Manilow
Mel Torme

...and I wonder if its a conflict of interest that they all made Christmas albums.

KISS & the Beastie Boys aren't Reggae! Neither is NOFX or Barry Manilow!

Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys. Good stuff. I particularly like his song "They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore".

So I guess the answer is, those two are it Hopefully they'll start a trend. The music's awesome!

Borat.

He had a hit song called "Throw the Jew Down the Well".

Not exactly reggaeton, but there may have been a lyric or two that sounded like "jah".

Golem. More on the klezmer side of things but punky and a lot of fun in general.
