Israeli pop icons Static and Ben-El teamed up with Israeli superstar Eden Ben Zaken and singer/rapper Stephane Legar to record a new song, "Yassou."

The music and accompanying video are Greek themed; "yassou" is a Greek word that translates to "hello" in English and "shalom" in Hebrew.Static and Ben-El have released many hits in Israel as a duo, and and are best known for songs such as "Tudo Bom" (which has a Brazilian theme) and "Zahav." As of now the music video for "Tudo Bom" has over 53 million views on YouTube, quite an achievement in a country with less than 9 million citizens.Eden Ben Zaken shot to stardom as a contestant on the Israeli version of the X-Factor. She has released numerous hits, among them "Queen of Roses" ("Malcat haShoshannim"), and "Fresh," which is sung in English. Her videos also garner an astronomical amount of views.
