Hadag Nahash
Hadag Nahash ( he, הדג נחש ', ) is an Israeli hip hop/funk band, founded in 1996 in Jerusalem. The band is known for its leftist political statements in many of its songs. Some of the band's songs have been used in protests. Name and symbols The group's name literally means "The Fish-Snake". It is also, however, a Hebrew spoonerism on the phrase ' ( he, נהג חדש, "New Driver"), which appears on signs which must be affixed to the back of vehicles driven by people who have just recently received a driving license. The band's icon, depicting a child urinating, comes from a Hebrew idiom loosely translated as ''I will show you from where the fish pisses'' () meaning something akin to "I will show you how it's done." Musical style Like many Israeli pop musicians such as Teapacks and the Idan Raichel project, Hadag Nahash blends Western pop music with Eastern elements to create a sound tapestry containing influences from funk and world music.

Funk
Funk is a music genre that originated in African American communities in the mid-1960s when musicians created a rhythmic, danceable new form of music through a mixture of various music genres that were popular among African Americans in the mid-20th century. It de-emphasizes melody and chord progressions and focuses on a strong rhythmic groove of a bassline played by an electric bassist and a drum part played by a percussionist, often at slower tempos than other popular music. Funk typically consists of a complex percussive groove with rhythm instruments playing interlocking grooves that create a "hypnotic" and "danceable" feel. Funk uses the same richly colored extended chords found in bebop jazz, such as minor chords with added sevenths and elevenths, or dominant seventh chords with altered ninths and thirteenths. Funk originated in the mid-1960s, with James Brown's development of a signature groove that emphasized the downbeat—with a heavy emphasis on the first bea ...

Shirat Hasticker
Shirat Hasticker ( he, שירת הסטיקר, "The Sticker Song"), is a song recorded by Israeli hip-hop group Hadag Nahash, appearing on their 2004 album Homer Mekomi, written by Israeli novelist David Grossman. This unusual collaboration of a mainstream author with a popular hip-hop group makes the song rather unusual. Samuel G. Freedman wrote in ''The New York Times'', "imagine the dazzling unlikeliness of Russell Banks having collaborated with Mos Def or Chuck D on a chart topper." Puns and cultural references The lines in the song are all direct quotes or plays on slogans appearing on bumper stickers in Israel. The unique collage of opposing political slogans juxtaposed against apolitical slogans and satires creates a bitter irony. As such, the song demonstrates a cross section of Israeli society. The music video features the members of the band dressed as the different sectors of society (e.g. Haredim (ultra-orthodox), Arabs, secular Jews, settlers), each singing a line f ...

Melodica
The melodica is a handheld free-reed instrument similar to a pump organ or harmonica. It features a musical keyboard on top, and is played by blowing air through a mouthpiece that fits into a hole in the side of the instrument. The keyboard usually covers two or three octaves. Melodicas are small, lightweight, and portable, and many are designed for children to play. They are popular in music education programs, especially in Asia. The modern form of the instrument was invented by Hohner in the late 1950s, though similar instruments have been known in Italy since the 19th century. Description The mouthpiece can be a short rigid or semi-flexible plastic piece or a long flexible plastic tube (designed to allow the player to either hold the keyboard so the keys can be seen or lay the keyboard horizontally on a flat surface for two-handed playing). A foot pump can also be used as an alternative to breathing into the instrument. Melodica keyboards typically ascend from a low F note. ...
