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.
Itay Levy on Galgalatz
You know how sometimes when an artist sings, you can tell that they really FEEL the song in their kishkes? Well, Itay Levy is one of those great artists. In the video above, Itay covers a song by Bar Tzabari called “HaPerek Haba”, and does it quite nicely. Prepare to be moved.
Eden Me’iri on Eco99fm
Any Eden Me’iri fans in the house? You’ll love his rendition of “HaDerech HaBayta” (The Way Home) by Pe’er Tassi. Eden actually co-wrote the lyrics to this song, so it only makes sense that we get to hear him covering the song.
Noam Kleinstein on Galgalatz
She’s a brand new aunt (her sister Meshi just welcomed a new son) with a brand new album! For the past few years, Noam Kleinstein has been releasing songs into the Israeli music universe, and now she’s ready to compile them into her very first album. To mark the occasion, Noam (daughter of Rami and Rita) stopped by the Galgalatz studios for a 40-minute concert, provided here for your viewing pleasure. Don’t miss her cool acapella number “Shir T’filla”, beginning at 23:07.
E-Z on Radios 100FM
You should know that Milog translates “Gushfanka” as “1. Official stamp, seal; 2. Confirmation from an authorized or official source”. You should also know that Israeli rapper E-Z has been turning heads lately, after releasing his funky collaboration with Noa Kirel with the above title. Well, Noa didn’t accompany him to the Moshiko Stern show on Radios, but E-Z did a good job singing the song on his own. Although we would have loved to see Noa join in the fun, this version is fun, too.
Danny Bassan on Galgalatz
Just before heading to the USA for a concert in Boston, Dani Bassan played a mini-concert in the Jaffa studios of Galgalatz. The lead singer of T-slam sang a number of well-known hits, such as “Shir L’shalom”, “Darkeinu”, “D’varim She’ratziti Lomar” and many more.
Netta Barzilai and Stephane Legar on Galgalatz
Netta and Stephane have been making the rounds lately to promote their new collaboration. Their partnership brings to mind another duo who recently joined forces: Rema and Selena Gomez, whose hit “Calm Down” has been a global sensation lately. Can Netta and Stephane do the song justice? Our vote is a resounding “yes”.
