Abstract
The article looks into the Sub-Saharan African musicians in Israel. The author states that the musicians were migrants who came to Israel in the 1990s to work. The migrants were able to form well-organized communities, such as the African Initiated Churches, as their center for social, political and cultural life. She adds that the music of African migrants within the religious context of Israel will shed light in understanding the African Diaspora.
