A new single for Ido Portal

Physical therapy consisted of playing the guitar…

Hailing from Kibbutz Meirav in northern Israel, Ido Portal (20) is a religious soldier

and graduate of Eli Yeshiva in Binyamin. Ever since he could remember himself, Ido

has been into music. In his younger days, he started a youth music group with

friends, and also produced two independent albums that have been recorded,

printed and sold directly to consumers, with no advertising involved and without the

assistance of a music distributor.

Later on, as he became older, Ido began writing lyrics and music on his own. During

this year, Ido wrote and recorded his formal debut album, Shima Be’koli (Hear My

Voice), which will be available in stores, God willing, in the coming winter months.

The album includes both original songs and songs from the Holy Scriptures. The

single from the album, hereby enclosed, is called Havdala both music were written

by Ido.

Ido is currently in the process of starting a new independent music group, which

intends to hold concerts during each Melaveh Malka, under the name Bein Kodesh

Le’chol (Between the Sacred and the Mundane); in these events, the group will play

both original songs and Carlebach songs, offering unique adaptation and musical

interpretation.

Currently recovering from an accident, Ido has had to undergo physical therapy in

order to save his left arm. At some point, he decided that the best way to train his

hand would be playing the guitar. The Time of Injury was dedicated to the

completion of the album and focusing on singing.

The album is expected to be released by Hindik Productions
