Singer and songwriter Muki discussed his new song "Mitga'agea" (Missing) and his feelings since the October 7th attacks in an interview with Kan News on Sunday. Muki stated that he performed daily for six months following October 7th for evacuees, soldiers, the wounded, and at funerals and memorial ceremonies, reaching every possible location.
He explained that the new song was written after this period, following a need for personal reflection on his experiences. "This place, these people, my brothers and sisters, the understanding that this is my place and these are my people and that we are one, this entered my heart and soul like iron," Muki said, describing a feeling of falling in love with Israel and its people anew.
Muki believes Israeli society has fundamentally changed since October 6th, asserting that no one has remained the same. He described this transformation as both individual and collective.
The song "Mitga'agea" is part of a new album, a collaboration with musician Idan Raichel, set to be released next month. Muki described the process as organic, starting with a text he sent to Raichel, leading to a back-and-forth of lyrics and melodies.
Looking forward, Muki suggested that significant crises offer powerful opportunities for growth. "The question is not if we have changed, but where we will go and what we will do with it," he stated, urging positive action amidst the current challenges.
