Quick facts about Ofra haza
Ofra Haza (עפרה ×—×–×”) (born as Bat-Sheva Ofrah Hazah in Hatikva, Tel Aviv, Israel on 19 November 1957 - died 23 February 2000). In 1969, at the age of 12, Haza joined a local theater troupe, and manager Bezalel Aloni spotted her singing talent. He staged many of his productions around Haza, and later became her manager and mentor. At the age of 19, she was Israel’s first pop star and retrospectively, music journalists described her as “The Madonna of the East”. She came to fame in the late 80s, with her album SHADAY and her single Im Nin’alu which reached #1 on several European charts in 1988 and remained for nine straight weeks in top position on the German charts. Then she impressed the whole world with her album Yemenite Songs, which was later released in the US as Fifty Gates Of Wisdom. She added more high-tech elements and worked with producers such as Thomas Dolby and Don Was. She also lent her vocals to a 1992 remix of The Sisters of Mercy single “Temple of Love” entitled “Temple of Love (1992)”. The 12” mix of this new version was dubbed the “Touched by the Hand of Ofra Haza Mix” (a tongue-in-cheek reference to New Order who had a hit with “Touched by the Hand of God”). Her voice has been described as mezzo-soprano, of near-flawless tonal quality, capable of lending itself to a variety of musical styles with apparent ease. Her style, including elements of Hebrew pop, sounds tasty, yet exotic, and the strength of her voice gained her many admirers. Learn more about Ofra Haza
