Rest In Heaven Ofra Haza.. This is a true pleasure to learn of your culture... Everyone is having a great time dancing singing.. Your Singing With The Golden Voiced Angelic angels.. 💖🌹
Screw politics. Music is the 1 universal language. Just love each other people. There's far more that binds us together than separates us. Even now, 20 years later, here I am crying because she's gone. She was a Goddess with the voice of an Angel.
Ofra Haza z’l restera à jamais l’inoubliable magnifiqte chanteuse avec voix sublime , une gentillesse un talent immense et ambassadrice de la culture yéménite , elle nous manque tant , que sa mémoire soit bénie ( c’est ma chanteuse préférée avec Céline Dion) ❤❤🎼🎼
When I look at her I admire her voice, talent, the good human being she was, but at the same time I feel bad and angry because she passed away too soon.
She was probably tired. This was around 1989/1990 --She was on the media blitz to promote "Desert Wind" and she only had a small window of time to get all the interviews in. In an interview she later did with the Jerusalem Post, she stated that in almost every American interview during this time, they kept asking her about her political views and the situation in Israel. She joked "Sinead O'Connor they don't bother. But me? They ask". She wanted it to be about the music and how that kind cross lines and borders. She's use this line in her concert at the Montreaux Jazz Festival. What they don't tell you in the interview that Ofra had been recording and working for about a Decade before she got her International Break with "Im Nin Alu" --- she had about 5 albums before then-- she was a hit in Israel through sheer volume and content. So she was a very VERY hard worker.(and she served in the Israeli Military as all kids do) .. which is why she also was compared to (and hated it) Madonna in terms of output and success.. though, sorry, when you start wearing your hair in bows and when you deck yourself in arm bracelets.. even if they are Yemenite jewelry, ya gonna get some comparisons to the Material Girl in the fashion realm. :) How ironic it would be that Madonna would co-opt Ofra's music (in "Isaac"--- lifting both the opening lines of the Amida Prayer and the chorus of Im Nin Alu). Ofra's "Mata Hari" video --- Madonna borrowed the cage and the woman in red during the Isaac song from the Mati Hari video .. even Madonna's later fashion choices echoed Ofra Haza, including trying to get an Israeli Manager.
@@creativewriter3887 I didn't know she hated bing compared to Madonna, I always thought the comparison did make a certain amount of sense :" I get where she was coming from with the interviews but sometimes when there is a complicated political situation it's hard to just let it be about the music, it was pretty normal that they were going to ask her, especially as someone who was kinda on the edge between the two sides of the coin in a way I myself would be VERY curious to hear what she would have to say today I like to think she would not like or at least be critical of what is happening at Israel's hands, just on the basis that she sounded like such a sweet good person, but maybe it's just my wishful thinking Regardless, we truly needed her voice today and I'm so sad the world doesn't have her anymore
Arikm7 Indeed it is so tragic that she is gone from us! I only discovered her last year and was going through difficult time, but her music brought me peace and hope, I am highly thinking about writing a biography on her life, and maybe adapt it to film!!
@Arikm7 I first heard of Ofra Haza in 1988, when a friend made a mix tape with the remixed Galbi on it. Later, I heard the original - OMG. Only later, after I spent time in Israel, did I start to understand her significance. Israel is a small country and often provincial -- even now, many Israelis don't know what an impact she had outside of Israel. She was a giant -- even on this segment, the short fragments with her voice give you a glimpse of the kind of person and artist she was. Someone like her is once in a 100 or a 1000 years.

03:30 her eyes seem to be sad."LOVE EACH OTHER,TO BELIEVE AND TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD AND TO BE HAPPY" God bless her.

I myself would be VERY curious to hear what she would have to say today
I like to think she would not like or at least be critical of what is happening at Israel's hands, just on the basis that she sounded like such a sweet good person, but maybe it's just my wishful thinking
Regardless, we truly needed her voice today and I'm so sad the world doesn't have her anymore
Ofra Haza was an angel who back to heaven cause she did not belong of this world
Yes .. absolutely!!!
She says her "parents came in 1920", but wikipedia says they went to Israel in 1949.
A wonderful singer but I much better human being. I miss her voice.
Allah yerhamik
Ofra Haza’s parents are truly beautiful!! Also was she singing “Ani Zachariah ben Ezra at 1:48?
I think Bryant Gumbel just pronounced her name wrong!
