Chasidic singer Benny Friedman is set to release his debut CD entitled ‘Taamu.’
Presented by Sameach Music and produced by Avi Newmark, this has been one of the most anticipated albums in recent memory, featuring 12 tracks sure to satisfy all musical palates.
A variety of talented artists teamed up to produce this masterful musical production. Selections include compositions from composers Yitzy Waldner, Elimelech Blumstein, Meshulum Greenberger and Oriel Avraham.
Arrangers range from the famed Mona Rosenblum and Moshe Laufer to Leib Yaakov Rigler and Avremi G, along with some great surprises from Ian Freitor, the album’s engineer.
The Friedman and Marcus families showcase some very strong talent with three compositions, including the title track, Taamu, composed by Shmuel Marcus, an incredible piece of music sure to take your breath away composed by Simche Friedman, and a Bentzi Marcus composition featuring a duet with the Marcus brothers band 8th Day.
Rabbi Manis Friedman, Benny’s father, has collaborated with Lipa Schmeltzer to compose a song with Yiddish lyrics that will at once force you to look inward, while causing your feet to move with the beat.
A special musical tribute was composed by Yitzy Spinner in memory of the late Izzy Taubenfeld, the founder of Sameach Music.
Cover art and CD jacket designed by Sruly Meyer.
The release date has not yet been announced.

Nice. Thank god he has a beard and has his Tzisis out like a normal Jewish singer (or at least the way a Jewish singer should look) unlike the way OTHER singers look, with NO BEARD etc.
Benny has the future of Jewish music in his hands, all the other WANNABEES should give up now…stop copying MBD & Fried, cuz they are the real stuff.
Wow Shmuli, great pic on the cover!
Wow Shmuli, great pic on the cover!
Another recycled album cover?
what are u saying ? most kids know not to walk in middle of the st.! teach ur kids!
I hope they correct the spelling of “oibershter” on the cover before going to print…
dodging the issue. what is the cover story? a guy walking in the middle of a busy street. what’s the meaning. please explain. thanks.
guys. this kid is mega talented. watch out. hes got music pumping in his blood. as a great man once said, lose the sweater and you will acquire a wife.
I agree with 4 and 6! I also was very upset when fried’s yankel yankel came out. What kind of message are we sending people that you can dance blissfully in a garden and stare directly into the sun.
Don’t they know you can permanently damage your retinas! In all seriousness, it’s just a cd cover, can we lighten up?
thanks for the clarification!
wow cool studio!
so what is the cover telling us? what does it have to do with the title?…hold your horses…not judging…just want to understand. wish him much luck with the CD. when is it slated to be released? looking forward to it.
hey ezagui its gr888 2 c u
nu??????? this is gonna be HUGE
its certainly a ‘shmuly’ pose, and if youdon’t know benny and his brilliant quirky humor you don’t fully appreciate the picture. benny, you da man!
I’m sure parents are doing their jobs and making sure their children know better than to cross a busy street like that. This is done for artistic purposes only and I hope we are doing good enough jobs as parents that our children understand the difference between what they see in a video, on a CD cover and whats acceptable in real life.
