It is by far the best concert that I have ever been to.
After a one hour sherut ride from Jerusalem, we were in Tel Aviv. And what were we there for? To see Idan Raichel – the musician who has captivated audiences in Israel and worldwide. With his characteristic dreadlocks draped over his face, the audience went completely crazy the moment he stepped out onto the stage at the Tel Aviv opera house.
I was one of the many people in that audience who was completely blown away by the magic that was his performance. His music is a distinctive fusion of traditional Hebrew texts, as well as traditional Ethiopian and Middle Eastern music.
After the concert was over and we had devoured a frozen yoghurt to celebrate our post-concert bliss, we saw him, the man himself! I shook his hand and told him that I loved his performance.
As the mumbo jumbo came out of my mouth, I continued staring at his dreadlocks in an attempt to imprint this moment in my memory for all eternity. My friend was in complete awe and mumbled something entirely out of character. He politely thanked us.
Golly Gee, what a night!
