They will be joined by video artists Avraham Hazan and Anna Cohen-Yanai (Zemer HaPlugot).

Boom Pam, Kutiman, Eyal Talmudi, Ram Mazza and Kay Zur travelled to Kibbutz Manara in the winter of 2011 where they recorded a special project of covers – now seen here for the first time with video by Ram Mazza, a special projection on a thousand helium balloons.
4th Layer – Psychedelic celebration with Izabo. The successful Israeli band (chosen to represent Israel at the Eurovision Competition) with a Brit-Rock/Disco/Middle Eastern/Psychedelic fusion sound will team up with video by Leor Sadeh and Studio Levitan.
5th Layer – The closing chapter will feature a special guest from Switzerland – DJ & producer Dimlite whose work moves between instrumental, electronic and hip-hop, powered by samples from rock & psychedelic music. Broken Fingaz, the amazing, creative crew from Haifa, will come to Tel Aviv full force to interpret Dimlite’s work LIVE! This is a group of artists NOT TO BE MISSED!!!
See you there….
