HaDag Nachash

HaDag Nachash have been recording music albums for twenty years now, and their youthful energy, high quality musicianship, left-leaning politics, chutzpah and tolerance continue to ring through all their work. Each album has been as popular as the last, they have won best song, best album, and best band of the year several times ā€“ and their concerts are filled now with three generations of fans. When an artist continues to resonate with such a large proportion of Israelis for so long, it is clear that their music can tell us much about Israel itself. The songs of HaDag Nachash, whose lyrics are mostly written by Shaanan Streett, make up the anthems of Israelā€™s key moments of the past two decades. It is their genius that they were able to provide the uplift, dance, and choruses for such difficult times as the 2nd Intifada, remembering the assassination of Rabin, the Social Justice protests, and more. We will be visiting a selection of their songs, that reveal the most about the Israel they write about and perform to.
