Idan Raichel is an Israeli singer, songwriter, musical producer, or just simply talented. Raichel began his career as piano and accordion player for artists such as Ivri Lider, Riki Gal and more.

While Raichel had an air intake to raise as musical producer, he decided to create portfolio that testifies on his ability. To do this Raichel recorded at his parents' house about 30 different singers, most of them are Ethiopians. When Raichel showed the songs for the Israeli record label Helicon, they got excited about the songs and decided to distribute the album like it is.

On December 2002 Helicon released the album Haproyekt Shel Idan Raichel, The Idan Raichel Project’s debut album. Raichel wrote most of the songs of the album and arranged them with the Israeli drummer Gilad Shmueli. The album got 150,000 sales and was certified as x4 platinum. The singles of the album were very successful and arrived to the top of the record charts.

The Idan Raichel Project continued to blew up and succeed when they released more multi platinum albums such as Mi'ma'amakim (2005), Bein Kirot Beiti (2008) and Reva Leshesh (2013).

Alongside the activity of The Idan Raichel Project, Raichel released solo albums that blew up too like Ha'yad Ha'chama (2015) and Ve'eem Tavo'ee Elay (2019). They showed Raichel’s talent as singer, not necessarily as songwriter or arranger behind the scenes.

Also, Raichel was part of The Touré Raichel Collective alongside to Viex Farka Touré. They released 2 albums: The Tel Aviv Session (2012) and The Paris Session (2014).
