Israel’s military bands are a unique global phenomenon. Having competed their army service entertaining IDF combat troops, young artists went on to become central and integral part of Israel’s cultural life. Our greatest stars have emerged from the military bands, as well as the unforgettable music that formed the soundtrack of our lives.
Every era had its songs, every war had its songs. The military bands coloured our condition through songs. The show focuses mainly on songs that capture the essence of each period, songs which became cultural mainstays over the years. From seminal songs like Bab al-Wad, In front of Mount Sinai, Song for Peace, BeHe’achzut Hanachal BeSinai, to songs devised to entertain and make people laugh.
