Micha Biton in Concert

 

Singer-songwriter Micha Biton is a pioneer in the ethnic-rock genre of Israeli music. He performs for sold-out concerts in Israel’s most popular venues and has traveled the world to share his music. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists attacked his home, Moshav Netiv Ha’asara, which is close to the  Gaza border.  Micha and 11 members of his family hid in their shelter for 13 hours, until they were evacuated to Tel Aviv; one of the few items that Micha could take with him was his guitar.  He learned that 20 of his friends and neighbors had been murdered in the attack. 

 

Micha realized that he and his family were lucky to be alive – and realized that playing his guitar and singing his music helped him to heal.  In October 2024, he released his album “Waiting For a Miracle,” which is a musical reflection on his thoughts and reactions to the events of October 7 and after.
