One big asylum: This annual parade was full of surprises

Ran Danker rode the waves of nostalgia, Raviv Fiddler took almost all the money and Yuval Dayan shelled.

But behind the drama in the first places one can detect a change of generations, a happy increase in the dose of singers and also a sparse presence of covers despite the busy year.

The last turn in Ren Danker's career is very rare.

More than a decade it was irrelevant, and after the last album did not arouse special interest - suddenly a strange song, with a twist gossip, wrote in one night with Jordi and Ron Beaton has become a phenomenon exploded was chosen to sing in the year Tsf"a of Walla and Galgalatz.

We remember Veteran artists like Yishai Levy or Yehuda Poliker, and of course Zvika Pick, whose comeback met the love of an audience that missed. This is of course not the case here: Danker is barely 37 years old, not exactly a past artist with a glorious catalog. Not quite active - and not quite an adult - returning at once to the center of Israeli music.

Danker's comeback, including the wink to Lenin, sits on a very powerful nostalgic moment in Israeli culture, which is taking place right now: After the longing for the 90s is exhausted, the first and strange decade of the 2000s raises its head, including a cover of Roni Duani's "Superstar" , The renewed presence of Maimon and Ninet Tayeb's songs in prime time, Yoni Bloch's very successful performances at Barbie, and attempts by all sorts of artists from Eric Berman through Synergy to Duaney herself to renew their success as before. But "Crazy House" has managed to speak not only to the generation that grew up on Danker as a fiery glow in Yardena Tamir's school, but also to their children and nephews - the ones that Jordi and Ron Bitton know exactly how to talk to. Recent pop met warm memories, and a song that parents and kids could enjoy together for fun in the car graphed voices from here and there.

This success is also related to what this song contains within it, it also sits on a familiar sentiment.

True, this year is particularly crazy, but treating life and themselves as crazy is the way Israelis have been explaining to themselves the general madness of this place for years.

Remember Omar Adam's "Two Madmen", the song of the year of 2009 - but more than that "Scratched" (which failed in Galgalatz but finished second in Network C, and was the most played song that year) - "This is not a world, this is a madhouse, Everyone here is scratched, and I am also scratched for life. "And if we are all crazy, then maybe everything is fine. If we go further in Israeli pop, we will also find Sarit Hadad's" Crazy, "Dana Lapidot's" Like Crazy, "and others. This is the last line in his song: he just wanted to go back to the asylum.

Phenomenon of the year, but he has more to prove.

He is not the only one who can be proud of the achievements of the parade. Raviv Fiddler, the man and the hat, is the phenomenon of the year, and was very close to taking the whole box office. Fiddler was carried to the summit on the success of "The Next Star" (who bothered to mention it a lot this season as well), but bypassed everyone who preceded him on the show along the way. The emotion-laden rock ballads of Fiddler are reminiscent of the successes of many sensitive male singers - from Daniel Salomon (imagine Fiddler singing "Coming from Pain") to Dor Daniel. Of course, his background story as a combat fighter resonates with the hit "Shards", which can be thought of as an updated version of "Pain of Warriors" - Song of the Year 2009.

It's weird to say that about a musician with three songs in the parade, two of them in the top ten, but the violinist still needs proof that he's not a star of one project, with one trick.He's one of the favorite stars of the moment,But he will have to evolve in other directions to continue to conquer parades.

The canopy song of the corona period.

In the top ten: "Trillili Trella" - after the refreshment channel and Dedi Dadon, this is the latest success of a humorous song on the Israeli charts - a country known for its fondness for sad songs.

Beyond the consistent success of songs released for Pride Month over the past decade, this year the connection of Israeli pop to the phenomenon has been felt more than ever with several potential hits, and one trillile that surpasses them all.

Ilan Peled is a genius and cult star, and Noa Kirl is the biggest pop star in Israel, and yet - it was not obvious that this song would overtake any other Kirl song in the parade.

But "Trillili" provides an edge and humor that is so rare in her other songs.

I do not know if "Pouch" will survive as a hit in ten years, but it is very possible that "Trilli Tralla" will.

There are those who were surprised by the fourth place - "Just smile" by Yuval Dayan, but it is clear that the post-Corona wedding wave needed to sing its own canopy;

"Zero Effort", Neta Barzilai's joint hit with Static and Ben El, is perhaps the best song of each of the parts in it for a long time, and also enjoyed the Olympics ("does not need a medal");

Particularly gratifying is the location of Bar Sabri's "Johnny" (8!), Another relatively unknown artist who has skipped many stars.

His album is highly recommended, and marks him as a huge talent.

The parade’s disappointments, for me at least, include the relatively low rankings of “What Do You Want” (21) and especially “Moab” (12), which seems like a legitimate candidate for Song of the Year.

The latest annual parade points to some other fascinating phenomena that are worth noting.

First of all, although Galgalatz did not include "Boom" in her own parade, the song she produced with the participation of Keren Peles, Eran Darso, Nasrin, Neta Barzilai and Doron Talmon and was intended to present a work by women against their background - 18 of 40 songs Contains women's votes, 45% - imperfect, certainly not in the top ten, and even better in the past (last year there were 13, a year before 10).

That is: after all the criticism leveled at the matter, the effort to voice more women in the right way.

No less interesting, there is a generational change before our eyes.

For the first time in 15 years (!) There is no song by Eyal Golan in Galgalatz's parade, a psychic figure in itself, but it is much bigger than him.

Not only him - where is Idan Raichel?

Keren Peles?

Hope 6?

Huge and successful eyewitnesses from the mainstream of the last generation who have simply disappeared.

Ironically the song of the year is by a “veteran” artist like Danker, while his contemporaries have become non-existent.

It is also very interesting to see how esteemed names of really veteran artists like Assaf Amdursky, Ehud Banai, Barry Sakharof, Dudu Tessa, Eviatar Banai and also certainly Shlomo Artzi (Hava Alberstein and Rona Keinan were not even nominated, if I remember correctly) are no longer enough for a place in the top 40. The

change of generations is of course also reflected in the change of genres, as the new pop continues to push back the senior representatives of oriental music, and certainly the new wave of hip hop, which despite the boom - it was a rather weak year for him in the charts.

And there are other contradictory trends: two phenomena that have arisen very much in Israeli music in the past year - the cover attack and the wave of protest songs, have left no significant mark on the parades.

The only cover version that began for the parade - "Moonlight" by Jasmine Mualem and Tuna (26th place) from the "Order of the Hour" project, is not at all similar to what was here in 1958, when five cover versions entered the top 20. Gal protest songs, itself Broadcast on the radio - did not convince the electorate.Even the joint song of Tuna (again he) and Shalom Hanoch, "The good, the bad and your sister", remained outside.Teach us: Not everything that happens outside happens on the radio, and vice versa.

And outside there were other great things, which have a lot of right to exist even regardless of the parades.

To sum up 5771, take from this year also the wonderful albums of Hava Alberstein, Aya Zehavi Feiglin, Stella Gut, Jimbo Jay, Tamarda, Eviatar Banai, Shai Nahisi, Shalom Hanoch, Aya Korem, Noam Rotem, Assaf Amdursky, Kobari, Gon Ben-Ari, "Out of context" project (alternative versions of Rotblit songs), the joint project of Barry Sakharof and Dudu Tessa, Kama Vardi, Tova Gartner, Amit Ullman and Roni Bar Hadas.
