Premiere: Tzlil - Let Go

Yafo Creative introduces ‘Let Go’ ,Tzlil’s second single from her first summer 3P. Let Go is the theme song and title of her summer 3P. It follows the success of her first single, 'City Friends', released recently by Yafo Creative.

Tzlil’s idea for the video was sparked at a family dinner

DINNER WITH Liron Amram and Amit Hai Cohen - (Zohar Argov cover)

Liron holds the torch of Yemenite Hebrew music, his father, the legendary Aharon Amram, is one of the most important pioneers in Israeli Yemenite music and often collaborated with Zohar Argov. Liron was asked to sing in our central hall, and he picked a song originally performed by Zohar. You could hear the old-school Yemenite genre at It’s best, still powerful and engaging in modern times. Video & Editing by Alon Luft Lyrics - Uzi Hitman Composition - Turkish Folk #dinner #l

DINNER WITH Maysa Daw

Maysa came to Yafo Creative as part of a collaboration with producer Hasan Masri, and “Positive - Home Concerts”. Despite its pop-like nature, the song Bikaffi Aad (Arabic for ‘Enough’), expresses the frustration from the political and social situation, and demaning - Enough.

It’s a typical session for a YC Friday dinner, Rotem Bar Or’s vibes, Tzlil’s rhythm and Mika’s virtuosic voice.

Tzlil - City Friends

Tzlil was scheduled for a photo session in a studio in Tel Aviv. The day before the shooting, not coincidentally, Tzlil, Amnon Ron and director Jonathan Vardi, were thinking of ideas for City Friends’ video, viewing materials Amnon shot in Tokyo. Jonathan was convinced he can turn the PR photo session into a music video. Once that idea came out, Tzlil and Amnon had their mind set on making it happen. They hurried VJ artist Gilad Grinberg from Jerusalem and shot Tzlil with bas

Danielle Angel and Yoav Gilor followed KIDS FLY, art director Amnon Ron, and Noam Gelbart from “Soul Royale” studios to see how they made the videos for KIDS FLY’s first EP.
