Ofra Haza

Singer Ofra Haza grew up in Tel Aviv's Hatikva neighborhood and went on to achieve enormous international success. Renowned for her fusion of Yemenite, Mediterranean and Israeli elements, Haza's fame was attributable in part to the rising popularity of ethnic music. She traveled the world performing traditional Yemenite songs to pop and disco arrangements that were well received on dance floors and broadcast on radio and television.

The song "Ga'aguim" was one of the first numbers Haza performed. This recording comes from the Hatikva neighborhood theater workshop.
