Uzi Navon and the Experiences

On the occasion of a new national tour, "Uzi Navon and HaHavayot" come to Yad Ben-Zvi for a show that takes us on a journey back in time to the heart of Israeli popular music of the 1960s-70s. Alongside beloved songs from the classic repertoire, two new and especially controversial songs will be performed: "Sutol" ("Light on everything that is dark"), a song about intoxication of the senses, and "Lo Yachol Lirot", a Hebrew adaptation of the French song Je Ne Vois Rien. Both songs are energetic and charged with the cheeky lyrics of Uzi Navon (organ, Moog and tambourine), the fiery groove of Mike Solomon (drums and cymbals) and Netanel Semantov (bass guitar), and of course the sharp fuzz guitar of Sasson Serousi. HaHavayot play music written in the 1960s-70s. The band is led by Uzi Navon, one of the great phenomena of Israeli music, who emerged in Haifa during the heyday of the army ensembles. Over the years he has led several line-ups – the rock'n'roll of 'HaHavayot', the punk of 'HaMakarim', and the experimental synth-groove disco of 'Ma'arechet HaShemesh' – and has won favourable reviews describing his shows as a sweeping experience that takes the audience back in time, with no compromise on a careful, high-quality sound. The show will close the study day on the development of popular music in Israel from the 1960s to the 1980s and the changes it went through.
