🇮🇱 Ofra Haza "Desert Wind" – 1989
Western dance production and Haza’s extraordinary voice meet in a sound that feels both deeply rooted and unmistakably international. The album moves naturally between English, Hebrew and Arabic, creating a remarkable meeting point between traditional melodies and contemporary pop...

🇮🇱 Ofra Haza "Galbi" – 1985

Making world music's first international star : 1985-1988 : Ofra Haza, Tel Aviv & London
In January 1985, I had arrived in Israel to work as a DJ on a radio station, but this was no ordinary radio. The studios of ‘The Voice of Peace’ were on a ship anchored permanently in the Mediterranean Sea [see blog]. Aware of my interest in cutting edge music, the station’s popular breakfast DJ Dave Asher... [continues]

The Sisters of Mercy
The extra vocals here were by the late Yemeni-Israeli singer Ofra Haza. She tragically died from AIDS in 2000 (possibly acquired through a blood transfusion).

Some used CDs that we picked up today.
The #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #MixedUp in honour of mixed up genres in music, inspired by Shane MacGowan's use of them.
My submission is Temple of Love, the 1992 version with Ofra Haza adding her incredible voice to the already fabulous Sisters of Mercy track.

SISTERS OF MERCY - Temple of love

Wegen viel #SistersyOfMercy in der Timeline, musste ich plötzlich an die früh verstorbene begnadete israelische Sängerin #OfraHaza denken, die unter anderem in Temple of Love von den Sisters zu hören ist. Ihre Vita ist die eines Phoenix aus der Asche. Sie hinterlässt ein vielfältiges Werk, das ich mir noch gar nicht wirklich erschlossen habe. Eine Stimme voller Strahlkraft, wie ich finde. Und doch eine Kunst, mit dieser Art von Gesang international für Furore zu sorgen.

A setting of a seventeenth-century poem by Rabbi Shalom Shabazi turned into a song John Peel championed and a German number one hit.
Ofra Haza's combination of traditional Yemeni instruments and Western disco was augmented by some very effective scratching, Haza's music was sampled on Eric B & Rakim's "Paid in full".
Haza died in 2000 of an AIDS-related illness.

P.S. (il video non è "ufficiale" come indicato erroneamente!)
Listening to "Paid in full" by Eric B and Rakim yesterday, I was reminded how the sample of אם ננעלו (Im nin'alu) by Ofra Haza brought her music to a new market and also reminded me how much I liked the song... https://youtu.be/ZRnzTTYk7_Q
