Kutiman
Ophir Kutiel (Hebrew: אופיר קותיאל; born 1982), professionally known as Kutiman, is an Israeli musician, composer, producer and animator. He is best known for creating the online music video project, ThruYOU, a self-titled album, and the viral on-going series "Thru the City" .
Background
Kutiel was born in Jerusalem, Israel, and grew up in Zichron Yaacov. He commenced piano lessons at the age of six and then learned to play drums and guitar at 14 years of age. When Kutiel was 18, he moved to Tel Aviv to study jazz at Rimon Music College.
While working at a local convenience store in Tel Aviv, Israel, Kutiel discovered a college radio station that was playing genres of music that were vastly different from the classical jazz he had been accustomed to up until that point in time. Following this experience, Kutiman met Sabbo, another Israeli artist, who introduced him to Afrobeat and funk music, including the sounds of James Brown and Fela Kuti, among many others. As Kutiel's taste for music deviated from his traditional training, in 2003, Kutiman embarked on a journey to Jamaica, where he researched reggae and worked with both Stephen and Damien Marley.

Blood Trails
by: CatameniaWarcry like a thunder hums in your ears
Peace and silence of the past suddenly disappear
End of life, end of an era, crushed to conqueror feet
Burning sky is the sign when other nations bleed
The haven of your life, turns into flaming hell
Torturing and murdering, none left behind to tell
With the dawn of pain, they arrive across the seas
They are the disease, poisoning your future dreams
Conceited, unknown power watch ancient city wails
Isolated, surrounded by hatred, tainted with crucifying nails
The havoc is hiding behind holy sins on the sails
Noble glory covers the world by ornamental blood trails
Hate of a stranger lay upon your world
Convicted to vanish, they will kill you all
Run and hide, but this time you can't win
Everything different to them is a threat and a sin
You opened the gate and they came to take it all
