The Indie Negev festival, held this past weekend at Mitzpe Gvulot in the Negev, was characterized by excellent performances and a strong youthful presence, though it was not a festival of major new discoveries, with the exception of Itamar Sadot. The performances by Achim Tzabari, Ehud Banai, and Barak Cohen also carried a political dimension.
A surprising nod to Nirvana's 1991 hit "Smells Like Teen Spirit" occurred during the festival's opening night. As a large, enthusiastic crowd surrounded rapper Shai, one individual appeared to sweep the stage with a broom during the performance, evoking the iconic imagery of the "Nirvana" music video and its "old cleaner."
