Midnight Sun Hanukkah Festival. November 28, 2013
On the second candle of Hannukah, the magical Nahal Hadera Natural Reserve will be transformed into an extravaganza of world music. Brought to you by the producers of the Sunbeat Festival, Midnight Sun is the first event of its kind: one long night of music, food and art. Four bands, three DJs, food stands representing cuisines from around the world and much more!
Among the stars headlining the event is Ester Rada, the widely acclaimed “Queen of Ethio-Soul”. Rada incorporates elements of soul, Ethiopian jazz, funk and groove into her uncompromising performances, singing in Amharic, English and Hebrew. Her band of seven musicians, also widely applauded by critics, includes mind-blowing rhythms and brass sections.
One of the late-night performances will be by Sumsum band, an Israeli band playing original Gypsy music inspired from all over the world. This gypsy celebration will transport your imagination to the happy villages and colorful back gardens of Eastern Europe and the Balkans, an otherworldly, ecstatic audio-visual experience!
The festival takes place right outside of Tel Aviv by the banks of the Hadera Stream and surrounded by a lush garden in a unique eco-friendly venue.
November 28, 2013. Doors open at 8:00 PM until late.
