Coolooloosh () is a musical group from Israel known for fusing elements of hip hop, funk, jazz, and folk music.
History
Established in Jerusalem in 2003, Coolooloosh launched their first album, titled after the band, in 2005 via The Eighth Note label. The following year, they released the track "Fight Rebel Sun," which supported the campaign to obtain Israeli citizenship for Jewish-American vocalist Rebel Sun, a goal that was eventually achieved.
In early 2008, the band traveled to the United States to record their sophomore album, Elements of Sound, which was released on November 27, 2008. This album includes collaborations with American R&B singer Bunny Sigler and Grammy-nominated producer David Ivory. It garnered positive reviews both within Israel and internationally.
The 2009 remix project Coolooloosh Remixed featured reimagined versions of songs from Elements of Sound, with production contributions from Michael Cohen, Ben Hendler, Johnny Goldstein, and others.
In 2011, Coolooloosh issued the single "Everyday," featuring British artist Daniel Bedingfield, recorded during his stay in Israel.
Although the group disbanded in 2014, they reunited four years later and released their first extended play, The Stakes Are High.
