Nunu and Jimbo J Team Up for New Maccabiah Anthem

Jimbo J and Nunu, two of Israel’s most successful current artists, have joined forces on a new song that will serve as the official anthem of the Maccabiah. The pair were followed during filming for the song’s official music video, where they discussed how the collaboration came together and what they wanted the track to express.

According to the piece, the upbeat beats mask a more layered story. Both artists are described as creators who do not fake emotions, and who also do not hide the difficulties of life in Israel. The song aims to mix a catchy, celebratory sound with their personal tone and perspective.

The article says that while making the track, they tried to figure out how to bring in their own playful touch. Nunu is quoted saying, "We tried to understand how we put in our wink." The feature frames the project as a meeting of two distinctive voices now working together on a high-profile sports anthem.
