Can You Feel the Beat?

Music Organization

2b Vibes Music is a music production company that is committed to easing the minds of as many Israelis through music. 2b Vibes Music produces 20 annual film, dance, and music events in Israel. Last August it launched the inaugural Arab-Jewish Coexistence Festival that featured Joe Crocker. Earlier in 2007, the company launched the Jerusalem Rocks Festival, which included performances from the Black Eyed Peas, Arrested Development and The Commitments. 2b produces concerts in Mitzpe Ramon, Netanya, Jerusalem, Hadera, Arad, Tiberias, Sderot, Tel Aviv, and Beit Shean.

Hillel Wachs of 2b Vibes Music stated the goal of the company is to, “up the threshold level for producing an outstanding show.” 2b Vibes produces  shows at seven major university festivals in Israel annually and many other smaller campus events. The biggest impact 2b has had was booking Macy Gray for the Student Day Festival at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. When Gray performs she will become the first international artist to headline an Israeli university music festival. Previously, only top local acts have been featured at the event. Gray will not be the only artist to perform, Geva Alon and Michael Greilsammer, as well as other leading Israeli artists will be featured at the festival. 2b Vibes has been the production company for the event for the past three years. The show attracts an estimated 15,000 participants annually.
