Almost a year after the successful single, “Brit”, the singer Avichai Hollander does it again in a new and exciting song, “Yomoladat”, which he wrote with Aviva Yifrach in memory of her son, the late Tal Yifrach, who fell in battle in the Sajaiya neighborhood during Operation Eitan.
“On July 20, 2014, I celebrated a birthday in Gaza,” Hollander said. My birthday date for such a sad, guilt-laden day, that I was just waiting for it to pass.
“About two and a half years ago, I turned to one of the strongest and best forces I know for help: music. I had a bouncy melody and one sentence: ‘How do you sing a birthday’? I did not know at all from which direction to attack the subject. The late Yifrach who is a true friend and artist herself, to share with her and maybe she will have some idea. I reached her and before I opened my mouth she said to me: ‘Listen Hollander, I’m doing Tal’s birthday and it’s going to be an amazing evening of songs. I snatched a market. ”
He also told about the work in parallel with the bereaved mother, who burst into tears when he started playing. “Suddenly, we find ourselves singing, getting excited and excited and I understand that in the saddest place I found something that will make me really happy. This is how this wonderful song was born.”
