Conscripted into mandatory service in the Israeli army at age 18, Idan joined the military rock band, building his chops touring the country. Upon his release he began working with immigrants and troubled youth. This introduced him to the burgeoning community of Ethiopian Jews in Israel. Idan was inspired by the unique music they shared with him, cassettes of Mahmoud Ahmed, Aster Aweke, and the sounds from Addis Ababa.
Idan brought to the Israeli scene a diverse group of 70 musicians, a sentiment reflected in the decision to name the collective The Idan Raichel Project. He has achieved the status of a pop star in Israel, producing triple platinum albums, but he is a new kind of pop star, one who preaches tolerance through his words and his methods.
