The music industry's struggle came on Thursday night to Charles Clore's Promenade in Tel Aviv with "Behind the Scenes" - a sympathy rally for artists who have joined forces to thank and salute the dedicated teams that accompany them throughout the year and allow the performances to take place.

The rally is a direct continuation of the cultural protest of the cultural sector, which, as we know, suffered a severe and painful blow, being the first sector to close and the last to return.

A number of artists joined the rally: Rita, Aviv Geffen, Danny Sanderson, Dekla, Rona Keenan, Si Hyman, Esther Rada, Eran Tzur, Berry Sakharof and Yishai Levy volunteered to come, perform and make their voices heard. "We are in Tel Aviv, at sunset. There is a first time here, and it is very exciting to know that you are going to stand on it. We want to live and work this summer, this is us and all the people around," said singer Eran Tzur before the show began.

The crowd on the lawn was asked to maintain social remoteness and everyone wore masks. The show began with a rockist adaptation of the "Hope" anthem when Ben Gurion was heard announcing the establishment of the state. Immediately after the band, singer Yishai Levi came up asking the audience "How much did you miss? I'm full," and cracked the song "Our Little Country."

Then came the Chairman of the Producers Association, June Feingold, who invited Tel Aviv-Jaffa Mayor Ron Huldai. The responsibility lies first and foremost with the Israeli government and I call from here - don't forget the culture. I appeal to the new Minister of Culture - a big challenge ahead of you. Let's join hands - the time is short and the work is full! "Said Huldai.

At the conclusion of the mayor's speech, Ehud Banai's "stage workers" video was screened. Rita came up to say to the audience: "What a beautiful picture to see you. Blessed are you our Lord God of the world we have lived and existed in this time."

She added and thanked the audience, expressing the outcry of all the backstage professionals: "We are the artists on stage, not just in our own right. There is a chain of people behind us linking a link. I want to say thank you to my name and the people behind the scenes, called" transparent " , So we can make you happy. " Immediately following her remarks, she sang "Come," and the audience joined her in singing.

Eran Tzur added to the stage with the song "Anthem for Indifference", Si Hyman reciting "Big Hero" and Danny Sanderson who told the audience: "It's so much better to look at the white wall in my living room" and sing "Small Country." Then came Dikla, "Hope 6," Esther Rada and Rona Keenan who sang "Mila Tova," a tuna with the hit "This Will Pass," with real and sincere hope that this difficult period that is going through the entire cultural industry will soon pass with state aid. 

Next came Bree Sakharof who sang his best hits and excited the audience. When the energy was still at its peak, Aviv Geffen came up and said: "So there is no idea how exciting it is to see the thousands arriving. It was a strange and psychic period, but we came here to support our friends, who, if they did not know where we were.

Geffen praised the new Minister of Culture, Hili Trooper, and noted: "I have a big point of light. We have to perform. It's time for the music. " At the end of his speech he sang the timeless hit "Billion wrong."

Shalom Hanoch closed the rally, with the song the hymn supplier "Waiting for Christ". The lyrics are pretty creepy for the period, with an economic crisis knocking on the doors, and stiff criticism of the country.

The rally is an initiative of Inbar and Marius Nacht, who have taken on the project with a love of music, caring and a desire to give people engaged in the craft, along with Tali Jacobi, the producer, a worthy amount of money, in order to succeed in the unimaginably difficult time.

If everything goes according to plans, this identification show with Tel Aviv artists with the support of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa municipality will be the first of several.
