This Is How 20 Israeli Artists Sound…To People Who Hate Them

Sometimes when you hear a new artist for the first time, it’s love at first listen. You immediately like what you hear, and know instantly you’ve become a fan.

But have you ever heard an artist, and was immediately turned off? Probably.

In fact, Yann Selka is betting on it. Our favorite master of Israeli music impersonations is back with a brilliant new video: “The is how 20 artists sound to people who REALLY hate them”.

Perhaps he had an ulterior motive. As Yann flashes on the screen for literally half a second, “Or…I just tried to do impersonations but they came out cringeworthy so I figured out how to release them anyway.”

Spot-on as always, and with appropriate musical accompaniment, Yann covers Mergui, Matti Caspi, Ron Danker, Netta Barzilai, Shiri Maimon, Arik Einstein, and many more. His Aviv Geffen impersonation, in particular, is hilarious.

The reaction so far has been overwhelmingly positive, but the video might have unexpected consequences. “Sadly,” one commenter joked, “for those artists I love, now when I hear them I’ll only hear your impression of them.”
