Main Stage
Teapacks
A
renowned Israeli rock group that blends Mizrahi and Ashkenazi music, Teapacks
is the headline performer of the day. This young group of musicians - who grew
up in development towns in Israel's southern Negev desert - is a symbol of the
new Israel, a marriage of east and west, young and old, Sephardi and Ashkenazi.
Teapacks' music has significantly contributed to the "new Israeli sound" and will
have the Israel in the Ballpark crowd on its feet and dancing to their
unique tunes.
