Hidai Liberman "Music is my life…it's in my blood, and the drumbeat is my pulse…" After extensive travel that covered half the globe Hidai fell in love with African music and more precisely WestAfrican percussion. Hidai has studied and performed | in Mexico, India, and Turkey although his first experiences learning percussion took place in Mali. Since his return to Israel he has performed with various percussion groups and also teaches.
In 2006 he recorded his debut studio album with producer Alon Adiri (Dub Syndicate) thereby starting his singing career. Hidai is currently touring Israel, playing songs from the album as well as new arrangements. Performing with him are Idit Dvir (percussion, Flute, Vocals) and Asaf Subery (Guitars, Vocals).

Oy Division is one of the only bands in Israel that perform the old folk music of Eastern- European Jews, generally known as Klezmer. The members of Oy Division do not adhere to the modern Klezmer style nor do | they try to make it contemporary in any way, but rather try to recreate and bring back to life the nearly extinct, pre-war Jewish music the way it had been originally performed. Their repertoire is a mix of instrumental wedding dance music, folk songs and songs originating from Yiddish theatre. Old music revisited with the zeal and exuberance of punks. Oy Division has recently returned to Israel after a short but successful tour of the U.S. and Canada including performances at the KlezKanada Music festival. Their debut album is soon to be released.

missFlag Within the last six months missFlag, an Israeli rock band, have toured the U.S. extensively. The reaction of the press to the band and their performances has been very exciting: L.A Times (second feature):"This pop band from Israel is starting to | make waves with the catchy song "Hidden Thieves" getting airtime on KCRW and elsewhere. It's not hard to understand, as the group's urgent, heartfelt pop has the potential for reaching a large audience. Ohad Eilam's voice and Gil Assayas' piano are the essential stitches to a fabric that incorporates diverse chord changes and tempos, but always resolving into memorable choruses." Boston Globe: "missFlag brings a beautifully shambling sensibility to the epic chord changes and winsome melodies."
missFlag are currently undergoing negotiations with various record labels. To read more about the band and hear songs off their debut album "To Infinity" go to www.eganu.com/missFlag
