Hush now my baby, be becalm love dont cry,
Sleep as youre rocked by lifes stream
day- moon and remember my live on lullaby,
So Ill be with you when you dream
River, oh river, flow gently for me,
Such precious cargo you bear
Do you know somewhere we can be salve?
River, deliver us there
These poignant lecture were perhaps Ofra Hazas last lullaby that we heard. Ofra sang the voice of Moses come in The Prince of Egypt. This good songstress was just starting to be recognized in American unison for her incredible talent, though many of us in the Middle Eastern world of music already danced to her words and praised her soulful voice.

The founder of the group, Bezalel Aloni, immediately recognized her shining talent. From then on, he became her manager and remained loyal till the day she died. With the encouragement of Bezalel, Ofra authorized more opportunities and by the time she was 19, her solo career was on its way.
In 1979, She became a bubblegum sensation with her first pop hit, The Tarts asidecry singing out about everything funny, flirtatious, consumerist. For Israel, her lyrics were about everything a young woman was not supposed to be, I wanna shout out loud, Im a Tart! and Israeli teenagers went wild. I can imagine, at the time, that it was the equivalent to Madonnas, Like a Virgin, song. Israels radio pop music editor, Benny Dudkevitch, said of Ofra, She was Israels first female pop success....If you hope to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
