Haim Uliel and the Sfatayim Band Celebrate 40 Years

A tribute to 40 years of creativity by the trailblazer who connected Moroccan music with Israeli rock. Haim Uliel, founder of the Sfatayim band and the pioneer who brought neighborhood sounds into the heart of the mainstream, prompting an entire country to sing in Moroccan and feel at home, celebrates 40 years of creativity in an energetic and captivating show.

In the show, Uliel combines deep roots with the distortion of the electric guitar. This is a cross-generational musical journey that takes the audience through the key milestones of his rich career, featuring Sfatayim classics such as “Ahlan U’Sehlan,” “Mama,” and “Haya Haya,” alongside solo hits including “Ish VeKinor” and “Teni Lo Lalechet,” as well as special performances of iconic collaborations that bear his unique mark, such as “Newspaper” with Kobi Oz, collaborations with Matti Caspi, Lior Elmaleh, and other surprises.

The show is a celebration of rhythm, color, and exuberant joy. It is not just a show—it is a tribute to an entire culture, suitable for every kind of audience, from those who grew up on Sfatayim to the younger generation that appreciates quality rock with soul.

After 40 years on stage, Haim Uliel arrives at the peak of his powers, accompanied by an excellent band, to get the audience out of their seats and prove that rock—and Moroccan music—are more alive, vibrant, and joyful than ever.
