If you were offered to mention in one breath Mr. Romance, Doron Mazar, who always, but really always comes home, with Noa Kirel, Yonathan Margi, Anna Zak, Ella Lee Lahav and other hitmen, you would probably wonder what happened to the new grandfather and the contemporary youth idols. Well, if you will, it is not a fairy tale. They told Mabruk Lamzar, that at the age of 65, 40 years after he gained fame based on the Italian Toto Cotonio’s San Remo hit, he is coming out with “Bammet Mej’an”, a new song, straight from the oven, which he composed with Itay Shimoni, the musical producer of the aforementioned .
“When Ethy accompanied me at concerts as a keyboardist, I didn’t know he was involved in creating hot hits like ‘Pouch’ and ‘Million Dollars’,” says Mazar. “When he said that he was also a composer, without much thought I went out to him, to Haifa, to get things going. From there we had a melody and then he said he was jumping into the living room and suggested that in the meantime I continue to play the melody on the guitar. After a few minutes he surprised me with the lyrics of the song. When I wondered where They arrived, he replied – ‘Now I wrote them’. I was shocked. Listen, the man is a super cannon!”. And with him the director Uzi George, who created a video-clip for the song “It’s a waste of time”.
Cannon, cannon, but it seems something miraculous happened to you, when instead of him swaying you in composing the song, you managed to sway the guy to the style associated with you
“Indeed, I remained the same Doron as the audience knows me, albeit at the pace of 2023. Now, when we are talking about an album, Itay said that he expects the songs to start from me so that it comes out real. This, at a time when the musical productions have risen to a very high level. I connect with them, it’s not to take the place of the young people.”
Where are you performing these days?
“Where not! It should be clear that even if artists are not in prime time and you don’t see them on TV, that doesn’t mean they don’t work and I’m one of the singers who work madly and a lot. I cheer for young people, but I have my audience that goes with me all the way. They may join A younger audience following my collaboration with Itai Shimoni.”
“This audience will get to know the singer, who vocally remains at his best as in those days, when he was constantly played on the airwaves. It’s not just the voice. Mazar, who before starting his career in the band Pikod Ha’Drom starred in the youth team of Hapoel Ramat-Gan Football, continues to strengthen himself Through sports activities. “I’m talking to you now after I played tennis for two hours at six in the morning,” he says. “By the way, I didn’t forget soccer and entered a new branch where this game is played by…walking.”
How is your son, Daniel?
“Daniel’s health is excellent. After playing for a soccer team in Germany, he stayed there and five months ago he made me a grandfather. In short, there is satisfaction and not only on the stages.”
