The Idan Raichel Project
The Idan Raichel Project has become one of the most unexpected success stories in Israeli music history.
The Idan Raichel Project burst onto Israel's music scene in 2002, changing the face of Israeli popular music and offering a message of love and tolerance that resonated strongly in a region of the world where headlines are too often dominated by conflict. With an enchanting blend of African, Latin American, Caribbean and Middle Eastern sounds coupled with sophisticated production techniques and a spectacular live show, the Idan Raichel Project has become one of the most unexpected success stories in Israeli music history. The architect of this unique recording project is Idan Raichel.
With The Idan Raichel Project, Idan has released four studio albums and a three-CD set. In Israel, total album sales are approaching 700,000 units; there have been in excess of 2 million digital downloads, and tens of millions of paid-for streaming events. The number of "hits" on YouTube is around 345 million as of May 2022.
