Koolulam has been bringing people together for two years. It's a social-musical initiative aimed at strengthening the fabric of society.
The project centers around mass singing events in which large groups of non-professionals come together to form a single collaborative musical creation. Koolulam brings together people from all walks of life to do one thing: stop everything for a few hours and just sing – together. At Koolulam, the audience is the artist.
Every participant enters as a unique individual and comes out, while still unique, as a part of a larger whole.
For every Koolulam event, a different well-known song is chosen to be performed. The musical team works hard toward each event, putting together a fresh and innovative arrangement of the chosen song. They write new instrumental arrangements as well as an original three-part vocal arrangement.
In this video, Koolulam brought 2,000 people together in the Jezreel Valley to sing a new three-part vocal arrangement of the song Mahapecha Shel Simcha (A Revolution of Joy) to celebrate Israel's 70th birthday. It took just under an hour to learn all the parts.
Enjoy!

With so many nasty comments about Israel being posted in American press, we should send this “burst of joy” to the White House for national exposure to the American media.
