in early 5784, a song titled, חרבו דרבו, or kharbu darbu, started topping popular music charts. in the song, over an electronic drill beat, rap duo ness and stilla (נס וסטילה) call for the song's title, translating roughly as utter destruction, to rain on gaza.

the song was first introduced on popular music station galgalatz (גלגלץ), a hitmaker station run by the israeli military.

it follows a long tradition of sound and its technologies being used as a nationalist rallying call, both by the israeli government and by other governments around the world.

let us take a step back and listen,
specifically for how:

the abstraction of music production through a computer,
and the representation of it via radio waves,

have aided and hindered these ends.
