Shabak Samech is an influential Israeli hip-hop and funk band, recognized for their pivotal role in popularizing these genres within Israel during the 1990s. Their music often features an eclectic mix of energetic funk grooves, catchy hip-hop beats, and elements of Middle Eastern rhythms, reflecting the diverse cultural tapestry of their home country.

Formed in the early 1990s, Shabak Samech quickly gained prominence with their fresh sound and playful lyrics, addressing both societal issues and light-hearted themes. Their recent releases, such as "כולם עושים את זה" (Everyone's Doing It), "פרה פרה" (Cow Cow), and "בום קרנבל" (Boom Carnival) showcase their continued vitality and innovation in the Israeli music scene. Celebrating decades of performance, "20.2.98 הופעה בקריות" captures the live experience and dynamic energy of the band, while "בעטיפה של ממתק" (In a Candy Wrapper) and "שבק ס" (Shabak S) recapture the band's enduring appeal and musical legacy. With "כנען 2000" (Canaan 2000), the band continues to offer a vibrant reflection of contemporary Israeli culture through their unique and influential musical lens.
