Moshe Morad explores the diverse mix of music in Israel where he meets the queen mother of central bus station music, a singer who's just had her vocal chords removed after suffering cancer.
Plus, a disappearing Iraqi tradition in Tel Aviv, Russian and Algerian roots at the Dead Sea Festival, and a trip to Jerusalem to celebrate Simhat Torah at the Wailing Wall and to hear songs from an ancient Sephardic neighbourhood.
