Ofra Haza (עָפְרָה חָזָה), November 19, 1957 - February 23, 2000) was a popular Yemenite Israeli singer.
She made her international debut at the Eurovision Song Contest 1983, which she very narrowly
failed to win for Israel with the song "Chai". Ofra Haza had a worldwide hit in 1988 with Im Nin a'lu
originally from the album Yemenite Songs, co-produced by Thomas Dolby.
Her international hits included My Love Is for Real with Paula Abdul in 1995. She also sang the soundtracks
of the animated film The Prince of Egypt (1998) - in 17 languages.
Ofra Haza worked with and shared duets and concert performances with international performers as varied
as Micheal Jackson, Iggy Pop,
Stefan Waggershausen, Hans Zimmer and posthumously with
Sarah Brightman. Check out all her collaborations and performances here...
For more information on her work, please check her discography @discogs.
Haza, who came from the poor Tel Aviv neighborhood of Hatikvah, at one time almost a slum, was a success story
and the subject of pride on behalf of many Temani. She died of an AIDS-related illness in 2000, having contracted
the disease from a blood transfusion in 1980.
*The above text was lifted more-or-less directly from the wikipedia entry.
Ofra Haza did the additional vocals on The Sisters
of Mercy's re-recording of Temple Of Love in 1992.
The song is featured on the according single and
on the compilation album A Slight Case Of Overbombing.
Ofra Haza also performed Temple Of Love (1992) live with
The Sisters at Top Of The Pops in 1992.
She is also known for her cover of the Led Zeppelin
song Kashmir.
