Maybe just a very simple icebreaker to get to know each other a bit … Which are your favourite bands or artists? Those that mean a lot to you, give you new energy when you need it, make you feel happy whenever their music reverbs in the room, inspire you for your own creations, … ?

I love Middle Eastern music. I adore Orphaned Land and Aviv Geffen, and Sophya (who are living in the Netherlands but originate from Israel). But I can just as well enjoy traditional piyyuts. I study Hebrew in evening school so Hebrew songs can sometimes be a good help to learn new words.

I also love Inbal Perlmuter and HaMachshefot, such as shame we’ll never hear her lovely voice live again.

OMG this is so hard, there are so many great artists! Even though I like the heavy kind of rock I have to admit that I appreciate artists like Jeff Buckley, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles and others more musically.
