Matti Caspi - Bubba Matti (Hed Arzi 1992)

The album contains the songs from the video tape “Bubba Matti”.
In 2008 the album came out as part of a CD + DVD pack.

The songs in the album, except for “Six” and “Ants”, are known songs, all in new arrangements which were written especially for this album, and were already in Matti’s former albums, especially in the album “Another Side” which was also entirely dedicated to children songs. Matti surprises us and chooses to add to the album the song “My Second Childhood”, one of the more mature and complex songs he’s created. This song, and the inclusion of songs like “Little Dog” and “It May Be Offending” in Matti’s concerts for adults, shows that Matti doesn’t take his music for children as a separate genre from his music for adults.

Indeed, even those who have celebrated six years and more can enjoy the diverse and fascinating album with no worries, which includes new arrangements for Matti’s known and beloved songs. With Matti, as usual, this time the album also includes some of the best musicians in Israel, among them Peter Wertheimer and Itamar Argov. Also participating are string instrument players. One of the most exceptional songs in the album, and in Caspi’s work in general, is the song “Ants”, a sort of humorous funky-rap. The album has made it possible for children who were born in the 80’s and 90’s to make an acquaintance of Matti’s music.
