Surprising musical summit meeting: Yehoram Gaon and Yishai Levy collaborate for the first time on a joint single called "Listen to me, bro!".
The song, which calls for reconciliation and tolerance, was written by Shaul Dor and Kobi Luria, and composed by David Kribushi.
The performance is accompanied by the Moran Band.
The lyrics say: "When will you stop fighting? / Listen to me, bro, there is everything here / Green grass and blue sky / Yellow Negev, oasis in the desert / In my opinion nothing is missing. / Let's stop, take a breath / Let's not vote for whom Blame. / It does not matter, it does not matter / We will stop it a moment before. "
Yehoram Gaon says that the idea for the connection between him and Yishai Levy came from David Kribushi.
"He told me there was a duet he thought Friday and I should sing it," says a genius.
"I immediately thought it was a wonderful idea and that I love it. Yishai is a singer with a great voice. This is the first time we sing together, and it is a great honor and pleasure to sing with him a song that calls on everyone to connect, love, embrace and be together."
Yishai Levy: "We have a mutual friend, Shauli (Shaul Dor), and when he approached me with the idea of a duet with Yehoram Gaon, I said at first 'What !?'
(Laughs). After I recovered, I told him it was a dream come true. At the beginning of my career I heard a lot of Yehoram's songs, and for me it's to mark another very big V in my career. I feel like only now my career begins. All I did to this day was the asphalt, and now I The road is being paved. "
You come from very different musical genres.
Genius: "True, and that's maybe the story of the song. The fact that we are not all the same. We are two singers who do not sing in the same style and on the same themes, but there is a connection here - and it works. What is interesting is that we are far away in style and content, once we sing together - "It sounds playful. It's a pleasant thing to hear."
Levy: "I do not think our worlds are very different. Yehoram sings amazing and expresses the words amazing, and that is something that was prominent in me from the beginning of my career - the eighth and eighth and the submission of the song. I am the happiest person in the world today, after we recorded together."
Do you believe that a song can really influence you to have more tolerance for each other?
Genius: "It hurts me a lot what's going on here. We chose people who would solve our problems, and they promised to solve, to connect the rifts and the rifts, but it turned out to be the biggest problem. I do not deceive myself that a song makes a revolution or among people, it's a drop in the ocean , But it's mostly a desire to show that we long for it. The more songs like this and the more people behave as the song asks - the better. It's an optimistic song that calls for people to be together. I think none of us deceive ourselves that after this song people will start hugging in the streets, But it indicates a goal that we would very much like to reach. "
Levy: "In this song we really emphasize that there is a place for everyone. I actually do think that the song can make an impact. People come to me at shows and say to me 'Listen, I had a very serious illness and your songs cured me more than drugs'. I have a very hard time with the situation today. "I have five children growing up in this country, I have grandchildren, and I am very disturbed by what is happening here. I say that is enough with this hatred."
Yehoram, what about the presidential candidacy?
"I do not know. Nothing is clear, which government there is, which Knesset there is, which coalition there is if at all. Right now the last thing that is interesting is who is going to be the next president."
