Watch: Miri Mesika and Ivri Lider together Israel today

Summit meeting of two giants: Ivri Lider and Miri Mesika join each other for the first time in their careers and release a joint song: "From a Breathing Distance".

The lyrics were written by Mesika and Avi Ohayon, and the melody is by Elnatan Shalom and Avi Ohayon.

"I started with Ivri, I always start with the boys," laughs Miri in response to the question of how this collaboration was born.

"We are very different people and very different artists on stage, but I knew that Ivri and I were a winning combination. After the closure I had a performance at Amfi Shoni and I invited Ivri to be a guest there. It was spectacular. We exploded on stage. The next day I wrote with Avi Ohayon "And I said I wanted to turn it into a duet. My principal said 'Maybe Ivri?'. I thought the chances of him agreeing were low but he agreed, and it really moved me."

Leader: "In Amphi Shoni there really was some magic, we had a lot of fun together on stage. I love Miri for many years, I love her singing and her presence on stage. I really appreciate her as an artist. When she called, it intrigued me. I wanted to see if There could really be something interesting there. I wanted to see how it would work between us and I said, 'Come on, let's meet.' How we met it sounded really right to me, something in the voices worked well. "It's very interesting because apparently there is something very different between us, and on the other hand not so different either. Miri takes something different out of me, and I take something different out of her."

How are you going through the fifth wave?

Leader: "I think we are a little less stressed than in the previous waves, because we know that madness comes and then the wave passes and it is released. We saw what happened at the end of the previous wave, so put your head under water and wait for it to pass. Meanwhile a song comes out. "Performances, people have moved but there are performances. Last week I performed, and I have a performance on January 29 at the Northern Theater."

Concludes: "There is tension. I feel like in mania depression. Very big highs, then very deep abysses, and everything is very extreme. I had a festive performance last week in Zappa, and it felt like a miracle to me. Until a moment before, I did not know if I would stick. Every day When the girls come back from school I'm afraid they got infected. Everything's very fragile, and also in terms of ticket sales - people cancel because they'm in isolation. A performance on February 12 in the Hefer Valley, and I hope that everything will pass by then. "

After the duet, are you also planning a joint performance?

Concludes: "Obviously, we do not yet know when. Maybe I will break into a performance by Ivri at the Northern Theater."

Leader: "Have fun, whenever you want."
