- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- Why did Mizrahi artists have such a hard time breaking into Israel’s mainstream music scene? Over just a few decades, Mizrahi music crossed cultural and social boundaries, introducing Israel’s diverse culture to the world. We’ll take you on a journey from Zohar Argov and Ofra Haza’s bootlegged cassette tapes in the 1970s and 80s to today’s Israeli superstars like Omer Adam, A-WA, and Static and Ben El who are making Mizrahi pop the soundtrack of modern Israel.

About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.
About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated - yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

Thank you! 🤩 The Mizrahi culture has brought to Israel beautiful music and an intense love and feelings of protection for Israel ❤ that the Ashkenazi culture had begun to lose due to the bad influence from the U.S. radicals. Mizrahis are to be thanked a million times!
Mizrahi music is Not an Arab music. Arab music is one of its inspiration. It's a mixture of Arab music, Turkish music, Jewish music, Latin music, Greek music, and even American and classical music.
In short it is non European white
Not Ashkenazi fake Hebrew music. Got it, thanks bro!
Turkish music is very strongly influenced by Kurdish music. The most famous singers in Turkey are Kurds: Ibrahim Tatlises, Mahsun Kirmizigül, Hülya Afshar, Özcan Deniz,etc.
Their songs are mostly Kurdish folklore and they have translated them into Turkish because the Kurdish language was banned in Turkey until the 1990s.

Everything in israel mainstream is mizrahi - the food, the music, the Mediterranean lifestyle, sheeshah and arak, all of it. I'm still waiting for a mizrahi supermodel or actress to break into the west in the manner of such ashkanezim as bar refaeli and gal gadot

Tel Aviv in time before midnight,
The wind is refusing to blow
And the moisture in the air is choking me,
at coffeshop local they aren't still turn off the lights
she sit alone on an old chair
i'm not sure what i want to say her
if better for me come to her or to run away her
wind come from the sea ,
she wink to me , she invite me to sit near her her
she order for both of us two cappuccino ,
But the only thing she does is just to complain about the heat of the coffee
what hot ... she ask me if i want to leave the coffe shop
and she lives in a rented apartment
very close to street "the way of peace" \ derehe ashalom
lets ask the bill ,this night we wil not go to sleep
Tel Aviv in time before midnight,
we are go up the stairs
she out the key and she open the door
and i see a little table and two armchairs
and she ask me what i want to drink
i feel so like a character from a movie
there are two cups on the table
and she pour without to stop
and she makes me drunk
she open one more new a white wine
she wink to me and she slowly enter to my heart
she order for both of us two cappuccino ,
But the only thing she does is just to complain about the heat of the coffee
what hot ... she ask me if i want to leave the coffe shop
and she lives in a rented apartment
very close to street "the way of peace" \ derehe ashalom
with all what that happen with us
you open the air conditioner because we are feel hot
maybe i will go to the room and she say me
if you want you can stay here to sleep
and i say her no way that i go to sleep now
this night we are gonna to celebrate

I absolutely LOVE mizrahi music. My favorite is Eyal Golan. But I listen to all of the ones that appeared in this video.
I'm surprised that there is no mention here of Tipex and Kobi Oz. They have bridged cultures for decades while making lots of fun (in a good way) of Ashkenazi and Mizrahi culture and music. They have for decades made great music that has been a fusion and told stories about the cultures they've grown up in. In the 90s they played everywhere: community center playgrounds in small town and clubs in Tel Aviv.
No mention of Ethnix either.
Mizrahi music used to be sad but now it's very energetic
Those "dikaon" style songs were a staple in the 90s, but most of the earlier songs from the 50s-80s weren't such downers.
Ashkenazis have higher IQ
As Chinese French who's fascinated with Jewish history and lived in Haifa, I got so emotional watching this video.
Why are you emotionally invested in another culture?

i never knew anything about okra haza background. i just loved it when i wa kid. just recently through her i started looking at modern mizrahi music and i blast it all the time in my car.
Israeli culture was never dominated by Ashkenazi singers. Yemenites (Shoshana Damari, Ofra Haza, Margalit Tsanani, Yizhar Cohen...) have always been well represented. You could, perhaps, say that their song weren't Mizrahi, but this word doesn't really mean that much.
Idan Raichel the KING OF ISRAELI Music is Ashkenazi , Miri Ben Ari is Ashkenazi and Daliah Lavi is Ashkenazi (her parents fled antisemitism in Russia and Germany)
@@vikmixedandproudconservati2095 I haven't heard of any of them except Idan Raichel. They're certainly not famous.
@@tFighterPilot
Daliah Lavi is a Legend in Israel and Miri Ben Ari too.
@@vikmixedandproudconservati2095 look, I know many singers. If I haven't heard of neither of them, they're not famous. You could've literally said Hava Alberstein and Yardena Arazi. It would make much more sense.

I was just looking for a video on this topic the other day. Thank you for posting this :)
Glad we could help! Did you check out the playlist we made?
Thank you for doing this video! very well produced
By the end of this century, Israel will be majority Mizrahi Jewish in population and culture. Which only makes sense as the original Jews were Mizrahi.
I'm presently hooked listening to Shefita...her voice, her looks and she is so much fun!
Thank you unpacked for this video and others. Please, note people watching this video, that although many people in Israel and even the states identify with the term Mizrachi many do not. Growing up as a persian jew in Los Angeles I didn't really encounter many people using this term to self identify although there are some who do. It's not really a name that our people gave themselves. It was a label given to us by the non sephardic jews in Israel that was kind of othering that now is accepted as something to identify with an be proud of by many. I'm not mad that some people identify as Mizrachi and to me it's almost like being called middle eastern which is no big deal. I just want to point out that not everyone from MENA countries self identifies as such. Even those people whose parents didn't come from Sepharad. French Morrocan Sephardic Rabbi of the Sephardic Education Center in LA and Jerusalem Daniel Bouskila has lectured on this topic and a good summation of this point of view can be found in this video on Sephardic and Mizrachi identity that he and others were apart of. He speaks at about 12 and a half minutes in. Tamar Zaken also touches on this topic. Shalom. czcams.com/video/wPSi0QVtiRA/video.html
because Misrahi is very addictive. its similar to Spanish music
This is a great video and I'm happy to see Mizrahi Jews have more representation in the culture and I hope that Mizrahim will have full representation politically as well and that all peoples living in the land will be treated as complete equals.
I have only one criticism of this video: Ashkenazim don't have "roots" in Europe. Jews, ethnically cleansed to various places all over the world over millennia, still have roots in the Levant in Southwest Asia/the Middle East and simply have experiences elsewhere. Ashkenazi culture is simply a creolized version of the root core which is from historic Judea that was filtered through the environments of our host nations. When we returned, we began to slowly shed the diaspora influence.
Anyways, much love to my Mizrahi brothers and sisters and I wish them the best, both now and the future! B'ezrat Hashem
Ofra Haza was immortalized by a sample of her appearing in “Pump Up The Volume”.
As an Ashkenazi descendant, more Mizhari culture everywhere please. Much nicer and livelies. Same with the food.
growing up my fav was Faruouz and ofra. wonderful music
One of your best explainers. Brilliantly put together!
Glad you liked it! We made a playlist with all the songs from the video, check it out in the pinned comment.
I appreciate this interesting but fitting development. Truth be told, when I listen to Israeli music, it usually ends up coming form the Mizrahi field. But Israeli music is sooo diverse, no less.
Great to learn about the evolution and the increased diversity of Israel's music scene!
We all ill like what intrigues us culturally. The mizrahi instruments look cool! Technopop just elevates it
Well done summary
Ofra Haza was insanely talented
Ohh yea when they call israel white ethno state but the truth is were all Mizrahi
We're not all Mizrahi. Please don't erase 40-something percent of the Jewish population.

culturally. now were all culturally mizrahi the music the curse words the values, even when we hit on a girl its the mizrahi speaking. And of course when we drive its all mizrahi.
I’m no Mizrahi. I’m mostly Ashkenazi, but I love Mizrahi music
@@shadowbadgercat
And im Russian but one that does karaoke in Mizrahit like that song half Russian half Moroccan by Yossef Shitrit. The things 3 years in the IDF could do to you.
@Z S
I mean that it doesn't matter that you came from europe or other place the mizrahi culture became imbedded in israeli culture so much that it had became interchangeable from being an israeli. It was inevitble it will happen as israel is in the middle east. So when people that don't know anything about israel call it a white ethno american,europian state i lol cause the image that comes to mind isn't cringe american or europian jews. But the israeli that became imbeded in eastren culture. Even sephardic jews that lived in the middle east for hundreds of years i don't see any diffrence between it mizrahi or israeli culture.
תודה רבה! great video!
How is Static and Ben El's music mizrahi? Literally each of their songs is a different cultural style.
exactly
YES LIKE WTF
True. We can't forget that the Ashkenazis created Israel. They fought more than what we did.
In the end we are all Jews
Nice that you mentioned cassette tapes. But, why didn't you mention the tapes were often sold (bootleg) at Tel Aviv's central bus station? That is how that name got attached to Mitzrachi music. Also, Reshet Gimel often plays Mitzrachi music, although not as much now that Avner Naim (who is Kurdi) is no longer a disc jockey there.
mizrahi music was never considered niche.it was always popular among israelis.
mizrahi music did went thru a big change and today, modern mizrahi sounds completly different than old mizrahi.
most modern mizrahi songs sound very western, while most old mizrahi songs sound arabic in nature.
that is because mizrahi jews came from the middle eastern countries, aka, arab countries. and modern israel is a very diverse place, with the majority of jews being ashkenazi, so mizrahi being a very popular music genre, did a change and went to a more western style with time.
edit:
old mizrahi examples:
* elinor - zohar argov
* haperach begani (the flower in my garden) - zohar argov
* pnei malach (face of an angel) - yoav itzhak
modern mizrahi examples:
* kuku riku - omer adam & eden ben zaken
* rak banot (only girls) - itai levi & stephane legar
* sucariot kofzon (jumping candy) - eyal golan
edit 2: omer adam is a nationaly known singer. A-WA tho, never heared of her.
AWESOME!
I was introduced to Jewish-sounding music from a Messianic group
called, "Israel's Hope."
Their CD is 30 years old, and I still listen to it, whenever I can.
Hope more countries go the path of the UAE with relations with Israel, including my country Malaysia.
I love Mizrahi music.
Two things promoted this beautiful change: 1. Miri Reguev, former Minister of Culture made Israeli music radio stations play Mizrahi music too 2. Gay party line Arisa made the connection between pop music and Mizrahi music hip from the early 2000s introduced popular crossovers. Sarit Hadad teamed up with DJ Offer Nissim, Arisa teamed up with Margol to produce "Eropa" and from there it continued to Omer Adam ("Tel aviv ya habibi Tel Aviv") and Static & Ben El.
Sarit Hadad, Omer Adam, Yafa Yarkoni are all of Mountain Jewish(Kavkazi) descent. Their ancestors lived in Russia(Dagestan) and Azerbaijan. Mountain Jews(Kavkazim) lived in coexistence with local Muslims for centuries. Mountain Jews are direct descendants of Persian Jews who maintained a Judeo-Persian language.
Dana International also collaborated with Ofer Nisim and early songs were heavily Mizrahit...
A -Wa I live this band! I did not know they are Jewish sisters! Yay! They Rock!
It would have been helpful if this video actually explained what makes music “Mizrahi.” After watching this I so don’t really know.
Im dominican and I love the revivo project!!!
Great video!
תודה רבה וכל הכבוד!
I'm wondering if Ishtar Alabina music can be considered mizrahi?
No, it's arabesque. But Ishtar has sung in Hebrew while in Alabina ("Horchat ha-ikaliptus").
Who else listened to that opening song in their teens!?
Beautiful!
Also Gad Elbaz! Loved by Americans as well!
We tried to cram as many as we could in the video, but there is always going to be a few we "missed" :)
I have to say many Ashkenazi Israelis still consider this style of music very low-class and roll their eyes when they hear it. For many people it's strongly associated with the scummy, good-for-nothing elements of society, even if it's objectively pleasant music.
Except Ofra Haza. Everybody likes her.
That’s because they’re snobs that think too highly of themselves and are dismissive of other cultures.
I see a similarity with Italy, where Northerners roll their eyes when they hear Neapolitan pop music at its lower terms (the so called "neomelodici"), which is often associated with scummy elements of society.
Not really, maybe in some enclaves of rich people from the Tel Aviv region. Where I grew up Mizrahi music was popular among everyone
5:53 - Ashkenazi are Middle Eastern in origin, not “western.” I like the video though.
That's a hypothetical remote origin, but the documented recent origin is from Europe
@aeskin1 Nothing hypothetical about our Levantine DNA
Internationally I would think Ofra Haza is best known as the vocal sample in Coldcut's remix of
remise in not being mentioned.
Coldcut's remix of...? I think you are missing a word.
Also, in the 80s she was definitely known for Chai and Im Ninalu.
She's also the voice of Yocheved in The Prince of Egypt. Many, many American children have heard her flawless voice without even knowing it.
Thank you!
GREAT CONTENT
And Ishtar Alabina??? 🤔 Her parents are from Morocco 🇲🇦 and Egypy 🇪🇬 🎶
Fantastic documentary. However, I wish you would have covered Aris San, without whose guitar style we wouldn't have mizrahi music as we know it, nor did you get into Musica Dikaon, which is my favorite(btw I'm ashkenazi who loves mizrahi culture and believe that Ohev Lichiot by Ofer Levi is one of the best albums of all times in any genre). Much love, and thank you so much for covering Tzion.
I feel like no one really ever came close to that album by ofer levi, even his later music seems completely different.
Well, if you think about it, it was only a matter of time until a country in the Middle East would acculturate to the rest of the region.
It is Omer Adamov so his diaspora group was in Dagistan- Azarbajan
Few of their videos have Kavkazi diaspora culture (dance and foods)
It's interesting how Dana International (who is from Yemen) was left out, since she also made an impact after winning Eurovision, her early songs are totally influenced by Mitzrahi music (she worked with Ofer Nisim).
Thanks for the feedback!
It is about time the original inhabitants of Israel are having there own kinds of promotions, commercials, ads, advertisements, infomercials, tv spots, teasers, trailers, platformings, and stations
I think that the mainstream music in Israel today is a mix of Mizrahi and Ashkenazi. west and east. traditional with modern.
Mizrahi music remember me a little group of 4 Monit sherut drivers in meeting, listening some Mizrahi song so loud, all with a bad faces, at front of Tachana Merkazit of Beer Sheva, all smoking a strongest cigarette ever, hottest sun of year, you alone approach to ask a price of ride, ALL stop at same time and began look you deep in the eye... then i have began stutter all words in my poor hebrew/english.
PS: true story lmao, love this type of music! Greeting from Brazil le kulam Israeli achim!
Zohar Argov was the best Mizrahi artist singer, Yemen , many are other Yemen Israel really great singers, but Zohar is the one I like the most. R.I.P
nice video but it mixes up mizrahi music with mizrahi artists that their music doesn't resemble anything authentic.
Yeah Static and Bebel is not Mizrahi music. I have no idea if the artists are Mizrahi or not.
@@natedubin8944 todo bum is an israeli version to brazilian funky. But has nothing to do with mizrahi music
We disagree. Static and Ben El incorporate many Mizrahi elements in their singing and music: for example their song Silsulim, and encapsulates exactly what we're saying - Mizrahi music has "taken over" Israeli pop.
Just like you can barely hear an American pop song now without rap, hip hop, or R&B elements, it's hard to find an Israeli pop song without some Mizrahi elements.
It just makes more sense for music to sound middle eastern for a middle eastern country. I have ashkenazi blood but still dont like ashkenazi music as much as mizrachi. Yaffa Ensemble has music in Ladino which is beutiful to listen to.
and that is the surface of a much more bigger tension between Ashkenazi and Sfaradi Jews, which is very unfortunate, like we don't have enough problems to deal with.
I love israeli pop
It’s my first time hearing mizrahi music and it reminds me of Indian music.
I wish the Yemenite accent could have remained as the mainstream accent rather than the heavily European influenced accent.
I disagree 100%. Our accent is fine the way it is. BTW: the Yemenite accent could never have remained as the mainstream as it was never mainstream and it still is not.
@@junaid1you guys fucked up the Resh
The current accent is pretty much not Ashkenazi in the slightest, the Yemenite accent in of itself was different than the mainstream Mizrahi and Sephardi accents
@@kipodarelle9876 yes, that's the most disgusting part of it... And the Chet
Thank you Miri Regev, it's all thanks to you. And... Arisa and Doron Medalie
How did you make a video about Mizrachi music without mentioning Chaim Moshe?
I love Mizrahi music!!! So much better than a lot of earlier Ashkenazi stuff (except the more poetry-based folky work). There is such a range of it - from specifically Israeli pop to hip hop, folk-infused modern interpretation and jazz. Check it all out!
There is always a self hating ashkenaz isn't there.
LOVE IT
Ashkenazim also have great music like Idan Raichel , Daliah Lavi and Miri Ben Ari .
What about Sephardic culture
Sfaradim and mizrahim are often overlapping definitions. Mizrahit music also includes the "sfaradit" culture.

P.S.: In 2018 I was walking home from work listening to "Shnei Meshugaim" by Omer Adam, it is one of my favorite songs.
Greetings from the American continent, more specifically, the southern Chile...
Is the unlabeled section of the graph supposed to be labeled "Askenazi?"
Omer Adam is Kavkazi and Ashkenazi, for those who didn’t know
Kavkazis are not ashkenazi, Sarit hedad is also kavkazi
@@denniswrestling1 that’s exactly why I specifically wrote “and”. His mother is ashkenazi and his father is kavkazi
Thank GOD!!!! Israel represents a gathering of Jewish people from around the WORLD not only Europeans.❤️!
i like hadassa yeshurun

Who is the pop singer on the video?

this is not an isolated case, the same music genere exists all over the balkans from the late 80s till now
למה לא מוזכר "הברירה הטבעית?
Omer Adam isn't in the Mizrahi music scene. He's one of the worst singers in Israel his songs shouldn't even be considered music
Thank God for speaking the truth. He's popular but still not very good.
proud mizrahi
It's a crime not to include the "Queen of Hebrew Music", also known as "The First lady of Israeli song", Shoshana Damari! She was coming from Yemenite Jewish background, and one of the first Israeli musicians who performed in many countries. She was known for her husky voice and Yemenite Hebrew pronunciation.
Bracha Cohen and Zion Golan!
Can't seem to find any venues for listening to Mizrachi music in Tel Aviv or Jerusalme, live or otherwise. Any ideas?

Geez I’m a kiwi, living in Australia watching a video about Jewish pop music making a comeback in Israel, no idea what they’re saying ...but, you know...CZcams!!
It means Israel is becoming more middle eastern... As it should.
Where is Nasrin Qadri ?
Eden BenZaken is the best 😍
To all the haters out there, dig how Zohar Argov looks like a cross between Konstantin Kissin and Donald Fagen - two Ashkenazi Jews whose families lived in Eastern Europe during the Diaspora, whereas Argon's family lived in Yemen during the same period. Yet all 3 share very close phenotypical features. Coincidence? Not likely. Thus putting to rest once and for all any suggestion that Ashkenazim are quote 'fake, Khazar converts' Judaism. That is BS nonsensical propaganda. Ashkenazim, Sephardim, Mizrahim, all have roots in the Levant.
Reminds me of greek pop
Ashkenazi music is not western though.. That's why it was it's own genre, and the foundation of Broadway but it was distinctively Mediterranean.
you forgot the Moroccan Albino dude - Medinah Medinah,,,
