unusual facts about Zohar Argov


Zohar Argov

Some believe that the great popularity of Argov and other Mizrahi singers of his time, among them Avihu Medina, Haim Moshe and Margalit Tzan'ani, was a response to the widespread sense among Mizrahi Jews in Israel that they were being discriminated against by the Ashkenazi hegemony.

The popular songs of this album are Baderekh el HaOsher (On the Road to Happiness) and Eikh Hu Shar (How He Sings) - which many assumed to be written on Zohar Argov, but as Robas told, was written about successful singers falling into drug abuse in general, such as Janis Joplin on Jim Morrison.
