A weekly look into the best performances on live Israeli radio. Some of the best musical performances you’ll hear are brought to you on radio stations throughout Israel, as artists visit to promote their latest single, album, or upcoming performance. So what’s new this week? Read on.
Netta Barzilai and Stephane Legar on Radios 100FM
Netta and Stephane, probably the wackiest personalities on the Israeli music scene today, recently joined forces for a new song called “Matematica” (Math). They paid a visit to Moshiko Stern on Radios 100FM to present their new song (video above).
While in the studio, however, they took the opportunity to sing some solo hits as well.
Here’s Stephane Legar singing “After Ima’leh”, a song on which he originally collaborated with Itay Levy.
And Netta belted out one of her most powerful songs to date, “I Love My Nails”:
Tipex on Galgalatz
Kobi Oz and Tipex joined Hadar Marks on Galgalatz recently. They took a few of their most popular songs of all time and updated them for 2023. The result is pretty darn funny, and delivered as only Kobi Oz can.
Elai Botner & Yaldei HaChutz on Eco99fm
Whoa, this one is gorgeous. One of our all-time favorite Ivri Lider songs…one that makes us emotional every time we hear it, covered beautifully by Elai Botner, Adar Gold, Ohad Shragai, and Tom Geffen, aka Elai Botner and Yaldep HaChutz. It’s “Mishehu Pa’am” as you’ve never heard it before. Chills.
Eliav Zohar on Radios 100FM
He won this past season of “HaKochav Haba”, he’s had a few hit songs since, and now he’s making the radio rounds to ensure he remains a household name. Our final video of the week features Eliav Zohar covering one of Arkadi Duchin‘s most famous songs, “Mi Ohev Otach Yoter Mimeni” (Who Loves You More Than I Do).
Omri Smadar on Galgaltz
Nope, we’ve never heard of him either. But Galgalatz hosted him and his band for 30 minutes of live, mostly instrumental music – with a few fairly interesting musical instruments thrown in here and there. His song “Didgital” (at 6:52) in particular is pretty darn cool.
