This All-Women Israeli Hip-Hop Group Dancing To Psalms Will Make Your Day
Israelis. Hip hop. Orthodox female singers. Psalms. Implied political implications.
This music video, a new setting of Psalm 102:14 by Julliard-educated religious musician Franciska in collaboration with the Halelu hip-hop troupe, has it all.
Come for the amazing thing one of the dancers does with her ponytail, stay for the spiritually catchy all-female psalm rendition, ‘Al Takum.’
