How Mizrahi Music Took Over Israeli Pop | Unpacked

Why did Mizrahi artists have such a hard time breaking into Israel’s mainstream music scene? Over just a few decades, Mizrahi music crossed cultural and social boundaries, introducing Israel’s diverse culture to the world. We’ll take you on a journey from Zohar Argov and Ofra Haza’s bootlegged cassette tapes in the 1970s and 80s to today’s Israeli superstars like Omer Adam, A-WA, and Static and Ben El who are making Mizrahi pop the soundtrack of modern Israel.

About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.
About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated - yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

    Turkish music is very strongly influenced by Kurdish music. The most famous singers in Turkey are Kurds: Ibrahim Tatlises, Mahsun Kirmizigül, Hülya Afshar, Özcan Deniz,etc. Their songs are mostly Kurdish folklore and they have translated them into Turkish because the Kurdish language was banned in Turkey until the 1990s.

Mountain Jews(Kavkazim) lived in coexistence with local Muslims for centuries. Mountain Jews are direct descendants of Persian Jews who maintained a Judeo-Persian language.

They have for decades made great music that has been a fusion and told stories about the cultures they've grown up in. In the 90s they played everywhere: community center playgrounds in small town and clubs in Tel Aviv.

    Thank you unpacked for this video and others. Please, note people watching this video, that although many people in Israel and even the states identify with the term Mizrachi many do not. Growing up as a persian jew in Los Angeles I didn't really encounter many people using this term to self identify although there are some who do. It's not really a name that our people gave themselves. It was a label given to us by the non sephardic jews in Israel that was kind of othering that now is accepted as something to identify with an be proud of by many. I'm not mad that some people identify as Mizrachi and to me it's almost like being called middle eastern which is no big deal. I just want to point out that not everyone from MENA countries self identifies as such. Even those people whose parents didn't come from Sepharad. French Morrocan Sephardic Rabbi of the Sephardic Education Center in LA and Jerusalem Daniel Bouskila has lectured on this topic and a good summation of this point of view can be found in this video on Sephardic and Mizrachi identity that he and others were apart of. He speaks at about 12 and a half minutes in. Tamar Zaken also touches on this topic. Shalom. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qYSHy5KKhtfPgqQ.html

    This is a great video and I'm happy to see Mizrahi Jews have more representation in the culture and I hope that Mizrahim will have full representation politically as well and that all peoples living in the land will be treated as complete equals. I have only one criticism of this video: Ashkenazim don't have "roots" in Europe. Jews, ethnically cleansed to various places all over the world over millennia, still have roots in the Levant in Southwest Asia/the Middle East and simply have experiences elsewhere. Ashkenazi culture is simply a creolized version of the root core which is from historic Judea that was filtered through the environments of our host nations. When we returned, we began to slowly shed the diaspora influence. Anyways, much love to my Mizrahi brothers and sisters and I wish them the best, both now and the future! B'ezrat Hashem

    Two things promoted this beautiful change: 1. Miri Reguev, former Minister of Culture made Israeli music radio stations play Mizrahi music too 2. Gay party line Arisa made the connection between pop music and Mizrahi music hip from the early 2000s introduced popular crossovers. Sarit Hadad teamed up with DJ Offer Nissim, Arisa teamed up with Margol to produce "Eropa" and from there it continued to Omer Adam ("Tel aviv ya habibi Tel Aviv") and Static & Ben El.

    Sarit Hadad, Omer Adam, Yafa Yarkoni are all of Mountain Jewish(Kavkazi) descent. Their ancestors lived in Russia(Dagestan) and Azerbaijan. Mountain Jews(Kavkazim) lived in coexistence with local Muslims for centuries. Mountain Jews are direct descendants of Persian Jews who maintained a Judeo-Persian language.

    mizrahi music was never considered niche.it was always popular among israelis. mizrahi music did went thru a big change and today, modern mizrahi sounds completly different than old mizrahi. most modern mizrahi songs sound very western, while most old mizrahi songs sound arabic in nature. that is because mizrahi jews came from the middle eastern countries, aka, arab countries. and modern israel is a very diverse place, with the majority of jews being ashkenazi, so mizrahi being a very popular music genre, did a change and went to a more western style with time. edit: old mizrahi examples: * elinor - zohar argov * haperach begani (the flower in my garden) - zohar argov * pnei malach (face of an angel) - yoav itzhak modern mizrahi examples: * kuku riku - omer adam & eden ben zaken * rak banot (only girls) - itai levi & stephane legar * sucariot kofzon (jumping candy) - eyal golan edit 2: omer adam is a nationaly known singer. A-WA tho, never heared of her.

    We disagree. Static and Ben El incorporate many Mizrahi elements in their singing and music: for example their song Silsulim, and encapsulates exactly what we're saying - Mizrahi music has "taken over" Israeli pop. Just like you can barely hear an American pop song now without rap, hip hop, or R&B elements, it's hard to find an Israeli pop song without some Mizrahi elements.
