Thinking about how in 1983 Ofra Haza, a Yemenite-Jew refugee, sang the song Chai at Eurovision in Munich, Germany 11 years after the Munich Massacre and only four decades after the Holocaust, with a song where the chorus says Am Yisrael Chai - The Nation of Israel Lives and it's all about joyous survival. (She placed second)

A young Ofra Haza (1957-2000) in magazines from the 1970s.
She was an Israeli singer, songwriter, and actress. She lent her voice in a critically aclaimed DreamWorks movie, The Prince of Egypt.

THE PRINCE OF EGYPT 1998
But I was their enemy. I was the prince of Egypt, the son of the man who slaughtered... their children! You've chosen the wrong messenger! H-how can I even speak to these people?

Ofra Haza was an international pop star in the 80s. She was also a Yemeni Jew. This song is part of a poem written by a 17th century rabbi.
If the gates of the leaders are locked, the gates of Heaven are not locked.

I want everyone in the Good Omens fandom to know that Ofra Haza—the Madonna of the Middle East, the one who voiced Moses’ Mother in Prince of Egypt (1998) and changed the brain chemistry of an entire generation with her vocals in Deliver Us—has a song about Gabriel in Hebrew and… well… It sounds like the opening of a 90’s magical girl anime.

Pure drip. This is Ofra Haza an artist from Israel with parents being immigrated from Yemen. Her song Galbi is pictured and linked, which is written in Arabic, with English lines spliced in, and also speaks Hebrew. And if that wasn't impressive enough, she's probably most famous of voicing Moses' mother in The Prince Of Egypt...

Unfortunately, she passed away on February 23rd 2000 from AIDS after receiving a blood transplant from a hospital from Turkey for a miscarriage. This was a memorial left in her honor in Hatikva, Tel-Aviv, Israel. I couldn't tell you what it says, ヘブライ語を話しません。

This has been me rambling about obscure international artists to (mainly) Americans, If more of people like this kind of thing, maybe I'll make it a YT short series.
