Last weekend, the singer Shimon Buskila revealed a secret from his life in an article on “Weekend News” on Channel 12, with Rina Mosilah, because he has a sister and they were separated for 20 years. Most of the public knew the story of the musician, who was an orphan of a mother and lost his father at a young age, and the article moved many.
After 20 years of separation, Shimon Buskila and his sister Anat Esau forgave and renewed the relationship with a new and moving song to the point of tears that he wrote for her in the Moroccan language “Ohti”, and goes ahead of Shimon Buskila’s huge show to celebrate 20 years of career with entertainment by friends from all the years, at Live Park Rishon LeZion on 10/13/22, as part of the Rishon LeZion festival.
The exciting story behind the song – Shimon Buskila has one sister from his father’s second marriage, but the two were not in contact for more than 20 years until they recently decided to renew the relationship. Shimon was the only son of his parents, his mother died when he was only 8 years old. A few years after her death, his father remarried and had another daughter – Anat, but after a few years they divorced.
After the divorce, Shimon and Anat did not keep in touch. When Shimon was 32 years old his father passed away, he called his sister Anat to tell her about the bitter news and asked her to come to the funeral and shiva. Anat said she wouldn’t be able to come, Shimon was hurt and since then the two have been completely disconnected for 20 years.
Over the years, Anat tried to contact Shimon several times, but he could not forgive her for not coming to their father’s funeral. In recent years, Shimon felt regret that they did not keep in touch and that he did not grow up with his sister. He decided to forgive, get back in touch and write a poem in Moroccan dedicated to his sister that calls her to come back to him and never leaves a dry eye.
“We didn’t grow up in the same house and I didn’t get to see you as a bride I swear by your children When I come I will sing with you, we will forgive and experience the days we have left together Come take me with you”.
