From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PingPong is an Israeli pop quartet that represented Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2000 with the song Sameyakh. They were dis-endorsed by the Israel Broadcasting Authority after waving the flag of Syria during the rehearsal and the video-clip. They refused to back down for the performance in the final and pulled the flag out live to promote Israeli - Syrian peace deal.
The band was the favourite of the NME magazine for this Eurovision.
The members of the band were: Guy Asif, Ahal Eden, Roy Arad and Yifat Giladi.The band released one album "Between Moral and Fashion" (2000, Hed Arzi).
