Lehakat Pikud Tzafon
Lehakat Pikud Tzafon, also known as Lehakat Pikud HaTzafon (Hebrew: להקת פיקוד הצפון, lit. 'Northern Command Band') is the musical military ensemble of the Northern Command of the Israel Defense Forces. Formed in 1954, the Northern Command was the last of the three regional commands to receive a band, after the Southern Command and the Central Command. The band's most successful period was in the aftermath of the Six-Day War, though they had enjoyed success beforehand.
Many of the band's songs have become standards in Israeli culture, and its alumni include several notable figures in Israeli music, entertainment, and show business.
In terms of overall chart success, the band is tied with Lehakat HaNahal, with eight songs that made it to the annual charts.
