In this special cultural episode of the Israel Daily News Podcast, host Shanna Fuld sits down with longtime friend of the show, singer-songwriter and performer Nicole Raviv.

Before the interview, Shanna introduces listeners to Nicole's remarkable journey: from growing up in a multicultural Jewish family in Montreal to performing on some of North America's biggest stages, including as the official national anthem singer for the NHL's New York Islanders and performances for the NFL's New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. After making aliyah to Israel, Nicole dedicated herself to creating a new artistic persona complete with original music that reflects her rich cultural heritage and traditional regional musical influences.

Nicole's music blends contemporary pop and R&B with Middle Eastern sounds, and she performs in English, Arabic, Hebrew, and French. Her latest single, "Hayati," has sparked conversation for its use of Arabic at a time of heightened tensions and cultural sensitivities in the region. In this candid conversation, Nicole and Shanna discuss their long-standing friendship, artistic expression during difficult times, multicultural identity, and the power of music to build bridges across communities.
