Hadag Nahash

Israel's Hottest band - hip-hop group Hadag Nahash (Snakefish in Hebrew), represents the critical voice of young Israelis. Through its live jazzy, funky rhythms, Hadag Nahash has made its reputation with raps about Israel's domestic issues. Their current runaway hit Shirat HaSticker is made up of bumper sticker slogans, and was a feature story in the Arts section of The New York Times, "Honk if you like Bumper Stickers."
