Akiva is continuing his journey to the top of the Israeli music charts and has announced his winter tour schedule.
Over the last year, Akiva has divided his time between long months in army reserve duty and coming out with his new album: Elef Manulim, which was launched at an unforgettable debut in Caesaria.
A lot has happened since Akiva's meteoric outburst of his hit "al taazvi yadayim'' which now counts millions of hits. It is clear that every song that Akiva comes out with hits the heart of every listener and goes onto every playlist. "Pshutim", "Shalom Babayit", YAish bach HAkol", "B'shaa Echad", "Rak Od REga", "Rotza Lhitorair", "Tzeadim", Lehachzik Chazak", "Lilmod Lauf" and a long list of other hits get a sweeping stage performance by Akiva and his incredible band under the musical direction of Yaakov Asraf.
"Lehachzik Chazak" came out this year during the time that Akiva was serving five straight months of army reserve duty on the northern border, at a time when he left the reserves only for special shows for other soldiers, evacuees, the wounded and for impromptu weddings at outposts.
During these incredibly complex times, Akiva's performances have been an anchor lifting up the soul.
