Coolooloosh Drummer Yogev Shitrit at Finjan
Anyone who is a resident of Jerusalem knows who Coolooloosh is. And with recent tours in the US and an upcoming European tour, Coolooloosh is not going to be our little secret for much longer. That only makes sense given their unique mixture of rap, jazz, funk and even some drunken Gypsy music to boot! Their newest album is called Elements of Sound and can be purchased via a link on the band’s Web site.
