Each week on Israel Hour Radio, we bring you Israel's greatest hits from its most popular artists. But there's a whole underground music scene that most of us don't know much about. For the second week of Chagigot 2020, we bring you an in-depth discussion of the Indie music scene in Israel...a scene that Zach Lewis knows a LOT about. He manages a very popular Spotify playlist (13,000+ subscribers!) that focuses on lesser-known artists in Israel, and he wants you to find a new favorite singer or band. Tune in for a fascinating conversation about the business of music in Israel, and enjoy some great music by artists you've likely never heard of!

We have a long-standing tradition to celebrate the month of August with a month of special programming, with each show highlighting a different topic in Israeli music. This year's August Chagigot begin with a look back at the AMAZING Israeli music that's kept us united, inspired, entertained, and upbeat throughout the Coronavirus pandemic. Despite a nationwide lockdown, despite the fear and loneliness that's plagued Israel over the past few months, the Israeli music community responded in a big, meaningful way.
