SONG #1 FOR ISRAEL NOW REVEALED For the fourth edition of Themeovision, the first song to represent Israel is... "Mudbira" by A-WA WHO ARE A-WA?A-WA is an Israeli band made up of the three sisters Tair, Liron, and Tagel Haim. Their single "Habib Galbi" became a world hit, with its Yemenite traditional music mixed with hip-hop and electronic music. During their childhood, the three sisters listened to many different kinds of music, such as Greek music, Yemenite music, Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, Reggae, Progressive rock, and more, but their major source of inspiration has been the traditional Yemenite songs at their paternal grandparents' home. Their music follows the same trend as did Ofra Haza, their main inspiration, decades ago, mixing in this case traditional Yemenite folk music with electronic tunes, reggae, and hip-hop, which they call "yemenite folk n' beat" The trio also cites psychedelic rock, including Deep Purple and Pink Floyd, as influential in their music. WHAT MESSAGE ARE THEY TRYING TO SHOW IN "MUDBIRA"?This is what the band has to say about the Arabic-language song in the German magazine Popmonitor: "Mudbira means unlucky, and it’s a common phrase that our great grandmother used to say a lot – because she knew she was dealt a bad hand in life. She was a Jewish woman in a Muslim country, and women in general were treated bad – they were second hand citizens in Yemen, and then being Jewish just added another complication to that. But even the most unlucky person in the world has a corner somewhere in the world. And this is a message that we wanted to portray – to say that no matter if you start from a very bad condition or you come from a very far place or a very poor family, you can create, you are God’s child, you can create your own luck. It’s fate, and she was unlucky, and she was laughing about it, but we believe that we can create our own luck. We’re coming from a small village in Southern Israel, we didn’t know anyone in the music industry, we had to build our path and create everything.
In the song we kind of have a dialogue, as her neighbours in Yemen are asking her why she has to go, why she can’t stay.
The country’s wide but my horizons are narrow.
I need to find something else to create a better life for me and my daughter.
That’s how we felt coming from this small place, growing up in the desert in a very isolated village we wanted to see the world. Being able to speak through her voice but to identify with her and say something that we feel. She was married four times, but at that point in the timeline, when this song is happening, it’s before the third husband, she’s saying that men come and go out of my life and I laugh but my eyes cry. The first was arranged and smelt like fuel, the second pinched like an old shoe, the third – who knows?
That was the first single, and in the video we wanted to tell the story of how you change your luck. We were thinking about how do we bring three characters to present that changing luck? We have three shepherdesses in Yemen with the tall hats, which is inspired by real outfits in Yemen, the shepherdesses wear these tall hats for the circulation. But to get to my point, the change of luck is the herd is being stolen and we reclaim it back."

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: I feel hot so I jump into the water. There isn’t a breath of air for me. They say that it is not in the sky. Come on right now flow, flow, flow.
Look me good in the eyes If I learned anything today. Nobody lives twice, Doesn’t live fast yet another day today, today.
And I don’t know Is there anyone who hears, Is there anyone who protects me? Oh, oh, oh. And I’m not crazy I get up and go. If you asked me, then bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Come on, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
As for me, you don’t have to think twice, Just run ahead and enough To scream to sky infinite number times. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
I feel hot and pulse rate quickens. I put my heart on the table. Sailors already see the horizon No one is ready to leave this place.
And I don’t know Is there anyone who hears, Is there anyone who keeps me? Oh, oh, oh. And I’m not crazy I get up and go. If you asked me, then bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Come on, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
I’m not crazy I get up and go Because I already know That there is one who hears, There is one who will protect me. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Come on, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
Thank you and good luck to all nations! That is all for Israel this edition!
