Tzvia Bar (Abarbanal) is a groundbreaking multidisciplinary musician and artist. She was the first to combine jazz and Yemenite singing with elements of pop-rock in the 60s when it was new and refreshing; She took Hollywood by storm: she recorded a duet with Andy Williams and was a guest on his shows, receiving expressions of admiration and collaborations from Sammy Davis Jr., Rock Hudson and Donovan; won her own show on American television; and was considered one of the prominent Israeli folklore symbols in the US in the sixties; she was one of the prominent stars of Sara Levy Tanay’s “Anbal” dance theater; and upon her return to Israel at the end of the sixties, she brought her many musical influences to the local culture (and by the way, she was the first to give Shlomo Artzi the young civil to appear in it).
Although Bar’s songs were not often broadcast on the radio, in recent years she has been a resounding success in Israel and abroad through her records and songs from the 1960s that are being discovered by a younger generation of music and record lovers and beyond being the darling of the city of Holon, she has always continued to perform, create, work and touch in her art in every heart.
Dodi Fatimer, a longtime admirer of Tzvia and a longtime friend, decided to dedicate the current episode of “Words and Melody” to her and her musical work and even host her for half an hour of a fascinating conversation about her work and work in Israel and abroad.
