Starting early on in their career, Hadag Nahash managed to walk the fine line between popularity to social agenda. Known for their fevering agenda, they’ve become the critics and social moral of the Israeli society. Their songs promote equality and civil rights, and create a soundtrack to the local struggle against racism and corruption. This unique perspective made them the center of attention, both internationally and locally. Throughout the years, Hadag Nahash members have volunteered for various social causes around Israel. They are especially known for their activity in “the one shekel festival”, which is an NGO aimed at bridging cultural gaps, that was created by band member Shaanan Streett some nine years ago.

 

Almost a decade after their debut album, their bass vibes still boom the radio stations in Israel. They’ve received recognition over and over, and were rewarded for their work six times, with awards including: best band of the year, album of the year, best video of the year and best lyricists of the year. Almost every album they’ve released attained gold or platinum status. Israeli TV has aired documentary films about the band, its music, and its activities, several times.

 

Hadag Nahash’s success and agenda has paved their way to sharing stages with American acts such as The Black Eyed Peas and Cypress Hill, and European acts like The Streets and Leroy (Saian Supa Crew). They’ve toured Europe and the USA several times. In 2008 Hadag Nahash contributed their music to Adam Sandler’s movie “You Don’t Mess With The Zohan”, which exposed their unique and creative sound to a vast audience worldwide.
