Tudo Bom (All is Good) – Static & Ben El Tavori
Released in June 2017, this Hebrew-Portugese hit took Israel by storm. You could say it’s Israel’s Despacito – some may criticise, but you can’t deny its addictiveness… nor escape it, being played in every shopping centre, party and topping every spotify playlist. Israeli Wedding Song Rating - 7.5/10
Chaverot Shelach (Your Friends) – Omer Adam
