Stream El Hatzipor: Connect on Instagram: Follow on Facebook: El Hatzipor is Mayiia’s adaptation of an old Jewish poem written by Hayim Nahman Bialik, featuring percussionist Peter Somos with various percussion instruments. El Hatzipor is a true landmark of modern Hebrew literature and tells the story of a migratory bird. Bialik's poem takes us on a virtual tour of the diverse landscape of Israel, fluctuating between the idealized Biblical past and the dark times in Europe. The poem is about longing for home - longing for freedom, to the promised land. Bialik was one of the pioneers of modern Hebrew poetry and came to be recognized as Israel's national poet. Lyrics: Hayim Nahman Bialik Music: Folk Inspired by Avishai Cohen Percussion: Peter Somos Vocals, Handpan: Mayiia Mixing: Markus Krellmann Mastering: Wolfram Dettki, Hannes Vesper Produced by Mayiia
