Heartland

in Teh Grauniad

Also listen out on December 30 for "Israeli Madonna" on the Light Program...er, Radio 4, I mean.

Nice...thanks!

As a poster on the Guardian page said - Not even a mention of Temple of Love '92.

I dare say that if it wasn't for that record we would never have heard of her & I dare say taht there are probably a lot of Guardian readers who still don't know who she was.

RIP anyway

Oh, there are very many people who know Im Nin'Alu ...

With her death, Israel has lost much more than a singer and started to turn ever darker ... very sad.

the definition of a voice being an instrument. sadly missed.

They still have Dana International,-another great singer!

Looks great ... ...

But, IMHO, by far not a person like Ofra.

Simon Mayo was on Radio 5Live a bit ago talking about the g-word and the Sisters, and he mentioned that he once interviewed Eldritch (do we have that interview?) and that he asked him why he'd recorded with Ofra Haza, and he said that his answer was unbroadcastable but that he got the impression he liked her very much.

It should be available for listen again here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04gk6c4
Not available at the time of posting but says available soon. I made a note that it was from around 15:20-15:23, so it should be around 1h 20 into the recording when it's available on the page.

Yes agree 100%

thanks, @EB, a good read, and I'll be first in the queue for that Cheryl Cole CD of Northumbrian Sea Shanties !

Anyway, I would love to hear her unreleased songs ... ... it was what she herself always wanted to do ... so hopefully, one day ... ...
