They put rap music on the map in Israel. From 2001-2006, their politically charged sound was a major part of the Israeli soundtrack. And we haven’t seen them together on stage in a very long time.

But now, Subliminal V’Hatzel (the Shadow) are back.

In late 2022, the duo announced a pair of reunion shows, taking place in Tel Aviv on January 21 and 22, 2023. And to help us remember why we loved them so much, the duo released a brand new song on January 10.

From the press release:

“Just before the joint show at Menorah Hall [in Tel Aviv] and 15 years since they released a joint song, Subliminal and the Shadow are joining forces and releasing today for the first time a new single that will make us all raise our hands in the air.

“Next week Subliminal and the Shadow will make history on stage at Menorah Hall!
And they will perform a historic show on the 360-degree stage at Menorah Hall – on January 21-22, 2023. Finally, after a disconnect of more than a decade, Subliminal and the Shadow join forces and raise Menorah Hall, ensuring the show that everyone is waiting for. Subliminal and the shadow, with the TACT Family, in a huge show, full of emotion, rhythm, joy and soul – with the songs that became the soundtrack of our lives in the Land of Israel.”
