Since 1996, Hadag Nahash has combined fresh hip hop, rock, reggae and funk, bringing together tight grooves with a Middle Eastern flavor and catapulting them to the top of the Israeli hip-hop scene. Their songs promote equality and civil rights, and are a soundtrack to the local struggle against racism and corruption. They are especially known for their activity in the “One Shekel Festival”, aimed at bridging cultural gaps, and founded by band member Shaanan Street some nine years ago.

Izzy Wise
San Francisco based izzy*wise aka Isaac Weiser first started performing music in his Dad’s Klezmer band as a teenager. As the multi instrumentalist began learning new instruments and collecting records, so came the influx of different styles and cultures of music. Having played in many bands performing reggae, afrobeat, funk, rock, hip hop, klezmer, drum n bass, and latin styles this versatile performer began producing his own music and djing in 2007. Combining his knowledge of multiple instruments, sound reinforcement, and his love of mixing music from different cultures, we now have the electro world dub mashup that is izzy*wise’s music.
