Boom Pam (Hebrew: בום פם) is a middle eastern rock band from Tel Aviv, Israel.
Founded in 2003, Boom Pam took its name from Aris San's song of the same name, and plays a mixture of Mediterranean, Balkan, Greek,rock and surf music in a format of a quartet consisting of electric guitar, tuba, keyboard and drums. They have been playing in a variety of venues, from small clubs to large concert halls. Boom Pam served as the opening act for the reunion show of the well-known Israeli indie rock band "Minimal Compact", as well as Emir Kusturica's No Smoking Orchestra. That, along with a showcase at WOMEX 2006, launched their worldwide touring career.
The original format of the band as a trio started at the high-school period in Telma Yellin High School of the Arts of three members: Uri Kinrot, Uzi Feinerman and Yuval Zolotov. The three haven't stop playing during and after school and played with the idea of forming a band together which will combine the influences of all members: Yuval used to play in a classic orchestra whereas Uri and Uzi played in Rock and Jazz band.
Long time after graduating from school, Uzi and Uri shared an apartment together in south Tel Aviv. The area, which is well known by its mixed cultures and is a meeting point for all kinds of music genres especially Arabic and Greek Music, influenced the two to combine elements from their Jazz and Rock bases with these genres specific. They started to explore this idea by jamming meetings along with Yuval on the Tuba. In 2002, the band was formed as a trio with Kinrot and Feinerman on the electric guitars and Zolotov on the tuba and the Base Drum. The name of the band was given by Kinrot as a tribute to Aris San's big hit - "Boom Pam".
