Rehovot artist Idan Rafael Haviv has taken Israel by storm since debuting in 2011, penning hits such as the jangly, melodic “Mechaka” and the delicate “Ba’layla (At Night)” with the Idan Raichel Project. The singer-songwriter’s atmospheric compositions demonstrate a fluid songwriting style and a knack for pop and alternative sounds, and he performs tuneful, emotive ballads with a charming, quivering voice that exudes quiet confidence. He can also knows how to step into buoyant, beat-laden territory and turn up the heat when his emotions overflow.
