Ofra Haza, man what a voice.
Born on November 19, 1957, in the Hatikvah neighborhood of Tel Aviv, Israel, she grew up in a large family of Yemenite Jewish descent. Her music reflected her cultural heritage, blending traditional Yemeni folk songs with modern pop, electronic, and world music influences. Her voice was rich, expressive, and often layered with ethereal reverb, creating a mystical, hypnotic sound.
She frequently sang in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. Her the nickname was "the Madonna of the East." But, honestly, that does her such a great disservice to be shackled to some hack like Madonna.
Ofra was far too talented for that nonsense.
