Karma Police [Radiohead Cover] Middle-East stylz


Karma Police

Tel Aviv-based musicians Rotem Shefy (vocalist) and Leat Sabbah (cellist/arranger) collaborated to realize an arrangement of Karma Police, a major hit from the alternative rock band Radiohead, third album OK Computer (1997).

What seemed at first a satirical cover transformed into a full-blown multi-layered middle-eastern arrangement, recorded with oud player Yaniv Taichmann and percussionist Ori Dekel. we were so thrilled with the final result that we instantly knew we had to make a video clip out of it. so we did! thanks to the donations we got from kikstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/5…) we were able to make our dream come true. wish you good karma. enjoy!
Our very own Middle-Eastern version by Radiohead - Karma Police, Based on Radiohead's Karma Police (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBH97...) and made with great respect and no intentions claming copyrights.
