Last Sunday I went to see Hadag Nahash at the Pearl Street Night Club in Noho. For those not familiar with them (ie, probably you, me, and most of the world), Hadag Nahash is a funk/hip hop/jazz/I don’t know what else Israeli band. The show was a lot of fun, with a diverse range of music. Of course I couldn’t understand any of the lyrics – as far as I can tell they never said “mazel tov”, the only hebrew I know. Despite that, we had a good time, and I enjoyed myself by singing along with my English interpretations of their songs. I’m also pretty sure there was a Bob Marley cover near the end somewhere, but maybe that was just my brain looking for patterns in randomness.
Some of their songs are online here:
