Examines a pan-ethnic style of music created by North African and Middle Eastern Israeli musicians in the late 20th century. This title focuses on the work of three artists - Avihu Medina, Zohar Argov, and Zehava Ben - who pioneered a recognizable Mizrahi style and moved this musical formation from the Mizrahi neighborhoods to the national arena.
