Idan Raichel Project

In 2003, an unusual song began airing on Israeli radio stations. With its haunting chorus in the Ethiopian language of Amharic and an exotic, global fusion sound “Bo’ee” became an instant crossover hit that catapulted The Idan Raichel Project to the top of Israel’s pop charts, and turned a young dreadlocked keyboardist and producer into a household name in his native land. The Idan Raichel Project has become known around the world for its cross-cultural collaborations that changed the face of Israeli popular music.
