Music in Israel is also very important. It can tell you really much about the people who live there. Israeli people love different music. But today we would like to tell you more about Israeli popular music.

Here are some of the first Israeli musicians. They are true symbols of Israel! People love them so much, that they know their songs by heart and often sing them everywhere – at celebrations, in parks, even in public transport!

“Shevet Achim VaAchayot”   (“A tribe of brothers and sisters“)

This hit has become one of the biggest Israeli songs. It was recorded by 35 of Israel’s singers for Israel’s 71^st birthday. So, why do Israeli people love this song so much? Because it is very patriotic. And it has a great video with beautiful scenes of Israel, and so many stars singing together and …. the President of Israel Reuven Rivlin starring in this video too!

This song shows how friendly, patriotic, and united the Israeli people are!!!
