The New York Times: calls Idan Raichel an ‘Israeli Singer of the world’…
Billboard Magazine calls Idan Raichel ‘One of the most fascinating titles to emerge in world music’,
Idan Raichel was one of the first Israeli musicians to collaborate and fuse different cultural sounds together, such as traditional Middle Eastern instruments with electronic sounds, combining Israeli music with regions from West Africa to Latin America and India. The songs are filled with Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, Swahili, Spanish & Creole Portuguese lyrics. He has worked with about 100 different musicians and singers including 5-time Grammy award winner, India Arie. His music promotes understanding and exposure towards Israeli multiculturalism. Given that Rachiel’s music is so distinct and loved internationally, he is an important part of our first gala as a representative of the essence of MCI.
