 Rating:  - Ofra HazaThis is the more rare side of Ofra Haza that Israelis know. Yes, every one and one of them will tell you that Ofra, upon gaining fame and success abroad, packed her bags and left Israel in a traditional Yemenite dress, ready to take over the music world (that was in 1988). But first and foremost, they know the pop star Ofra Haza, with the Farrah Fawcett hairstyle and the glitzy 80s outfits that crooned pop tunes and israeli folk songs for most of the decade. Ironically, "Im Nin'alu", undoubtedly ... Read More Rating: - Beautiful voice, moving songs, great beatsI first discovered Ofra Haza as a kid while rummaging through my mom's extensive cd collection on a rainy day. I saw "Shaday" and the beautiful, mystical-looking cover and decided to play it and see what it was all about. Boy, am I glad! Before the first song, Im Nin Alu, was even over, I was captivated. I listened to the cd over and over and over again, enraptured by Ofra's haunting vocals. Her voice is pure beyond belief, full of passion, and goes soaring into great heights with a beautiful ...

After reading much about her life, her beliefs and her talent, "Shaday" really peaked my curiousity. I hadn't been exposed to Yemenite music (from Israel) in the past, and had only heard the samples on Amazon, but that was enough to motivate me and buy the album. This is something I am very glad I did. "Shaday" features "Im Nin' Alu," a beautiful and catchy song that caught the ears of many ... Read More Rating: - Ofra Forever!I bought this CD because I liked the cover, I had never heard of Ofra. After listening to it I had to buy more recordings from her. It's a shame she is no longer with us. But her music will live forever. Ofra R.I.P Rating: - Pure LoveIsn't it remarkable how a people subjected to so much hate-the Children of Israel-can come up with something that is pure love Only the People of Israel could do this. Shaday brings out the fantastic Middle East flavour , mainly with lyrics in English , and in a way that all lovers of good music can appreciate. This is real bliss and a real classic , that all lovers of good music should have in their collection. It shows such humanity and beauty. |
