The best way to describe Israeli singer Shlomo Artzi would probably be “one big, timeless rock star.” With more than 50 years on stage and more than 1.5 million albums sold (big numbers in a country with a population of 7 million,) he is probably the most successful musician in Israel.
He was born on November 26, 1949, in Moshav Alonei Abba, and started his career during his military service at an IDF singing troupe, right when they were at the peak of their success. Since then, the road to national success was paved for young Artzi, who captured the hearts of every single Israeli with his folk-rock music and friendly face. With nearly 30 studio albums full of hit songs, Artzi still performs every year, in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
ENJOY HIS MUSIC!
