The Band
It has been 20 years since we started this project. It is with great pleasure we announce the release of our self titled album: Bar Papas. Please spread the word and share it around. Check it out on Amazon, Spotify or on Youtube HERE and many other places.
With great pleasure and thanks to the Master of the World and all our loyal fans who have followed us over the years we have decided it is time to release this album. A few years ago it was brought to our attention that the company we were working with, CDBaby, could no longer support […]
Several years ago when The Bar Papas were finishing up their recording with Raphael Bibefeld, he asked Amihai to do some background vocals on a song he had been working on when he had time. According to one version of what happened next, the song sat on the shelf for a while but Raphael breathed […]
At certain times in the past, the Bar Papas associated the song Shema/Listen with a raw acoustic kind of sound. It had a certain folksy feel that that was up beat yet slow enough for them to follow along. Like we mentioned elsewhere, these guys weren’t musicians in the traditional sense and this song was […]
With tears in our eyes we want to express our deep sadness for the loss of our good friend Rabbi Sholom Brodt and extend condolences to his entire family and the world he touched. Right from the start Reb Sholom came to several of our first shows at Rebeccas. A distinct memory of him was […]

True, Photoshop already existed but no one in yeshiva had a copy. They […]
Bar Papas songs are highly original compositions for one main reason: It wasn’t a true musician’s mind putting them all together. In the Bar Papas case, they played their instruments for long hours journeying back and forth up and down the fret board until something (a pick?) struck a chord. This is how Amihai and Shimshon developed their own material […]
Here’s a look at Karev Yom/Bring on the Day. This song was not originally on the recording block and as it turned out, pushed a few others on the chopping block. It took precedence because it was a hit when played live and it embodied a lot of what the Bar Papas are: an eclectic […]
The Bar Papas have been preparing the world for all kinds of wonderful things and will soon be celebrating our 20th anniversary! Hows’ that for time flying! We’ve also been preparing for the Nesiya Tova album release for a long time now and are hoping for some movement on this after Lag B’Omer. Furthermore, stay […]
The new album, Nesiya Tova is slated to be released soon. It is the culmination of musical talent nearly 20 years in making. If we could only finish the album cover to make this happen…..
