Israeli Music #1- Cafe Shahor Hazak / Strong Black Coffee
This time I would like to talk about one of my favorite Israeli bands – Strong Black Coffee.
This hip-hop duo consists of two cousins – Uri Alamo and Ilak Sahalu. These two cousins were born in Ethiopia and immigrated to Israel as little kids.
They started to make music at the age of 16, and although they had a rough childhood, most of their songs do not focus on their struggles, they emphasis the optimistic side of life.
In July 2015, Chris Brown chose the duo to open his concert in Israel. That year they were also nominated for the 2015 MTV Europe Music Awards Best Israeli Act award.
The following song that I chose is one of their best known song, it’s called “Yihiye Beseder” meaning- “It’ll be okay”.
(and there is even a translation to English)
