Composer Yishai Ribo surprises with a new, exciting and moving song: "I Belong to the People" - written when he was 16 years old. It is a guitar-based song, which he only learned to strum on Fridays himself.
The song was well-known in the family, and Yishai's mother loved it very much. On Passover Eve, she always asked: "Yishai, when are you releasing it to the world?".
On the night of the last Seder, her son promised her that this year he would make an effort "because she asks so much...""

Last Purim, he remembered the promise, almost a year had passed, and despite the short time, he jumped into Maor Shoshan's studio: "While we were supposed to continue working on another song, I told him: 'Listen Maor: I want us to stop and record a sketch for a song I wrote once, to make my mother happy,' and the beloved and sensitive Maor immediately got involved. And probably thanks to a moment of parental respect, everything went with extraordinary divine help, the vibe, the production, and my perfect band that played, it all happened in just a few days...""
So on days like these where there's quite a bit of background noise,
Despite the dispersion and separation that supposedly exists between us,
We belong to the same people who came out of Egypt,
And crossed the Red Sea and endless hardships
This people who returned to the Land of Israel against all human predictions
So this is what it's like when the world is in a kind of bankruptcy.
The point of clarification becomes increasingly rooted and internal.
But I'm sure that soon, out of all this chaos, love will be born between us and sweet redemption.
Because the people to whom I belong
The Lord is his God!
