""Bibi Ya Habibi" is also sweeping the Haredi halls • The singer talks about the madness

March 14, 2018   

Singer Yossi Barda, a Beni-Lauumi singer, couldn't believe it was happening to him. A viral praise song he wrote about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu became a sought-after hit at Haredi weddings as well. "Prime Minister, world leader, we will sing with all our hearts, Bibi Netanyahu, oh, oh, my dear... The people of Israel love you, the people of Israel choose you, we will sing with all our hearts to Bibi Netanyahu, come on, oh Bibi, come on, my dear." • Yossi, how did it happen? "It became a hit. I went into a bakery, I heard this song in the background. I asked: What is it? They told me: A song by Yossi Barda... "Today I arrived at the 'Opera' hall in Ashdod, for a religious-Haredi wedding. They started shouting at me: 'Sing Bibi.' I don't care about a party, I love Bibi, I feel that the people love Bibi, I care about the people who are persecuting him." Yossi notes in a conversation with Haredim 10: "Jews from New York call me, asking me to come to Independence Day for a concert and sing this song. Jews from other countries contact me, saying that the song moved them. There were also older people in the audience tonight in the hall. I saw that they were literally in tears from excitement. "Tonight I heard a video of Tzafi Livni for a few minutes, where she called out to the people something against Bibi. I wanted to tell her that she really doesn't understand how much the people love him." [vimeo url="https://vimeo.com/259967869" width="600" height="400" responsive="yes" autoplay="no"]
