Abstract
Music has been referred to as a science, as art and as language through History. Precisely from its association with language it has been used as a means to create identities, either social political, religious, etc. Thus, music can be specifically composed to create a sense of group identity (as in the case of the vast majority of sports clubs hymns); on the other hand, music —even if composed for different purposes— can also act as a genuine social binder. This article aims to study these two possibilities in the case of a country: Israel.
