After the winning of Declon, Yossi Levy, in the Israel Prize – a Walla project! Went out to check what are the favorite Mizrahi songs of Israeli singers. Many singers participated in the project, and we wanted to focus on the choice of the singer Yuval Dayan who chose the song of Margalit Tsanani, Margol, “Nari Shuva Ali”.
This song is a tradition
The song was released in 1986, and it also became the name of Tsenani’s successful debut album. The song was written and composed by Danny Shoshan, who also wrote, among other things, “Tifat Mazal” by Zehava Ben and “Give me back my son” by Ofer Levy. “This song is a tradition at our family events on my mother’s side,” says Dayan.
The singer also revealed the story behind her choice of song: “There comes a point after everyone is tired of dancing, one of the sisters approaches the DJ and asks him to put on the traditional song, they put their hands on each other’s shoulders in a row and sing loudly. In their hearts, they dedicate it to David Z “L, their younger brother, who died of cancer forty days after he was diagnosed with the disease, when he was only 17 years old.”

“Through how much this song affects them, I realized how much power there is in music”
She concludes: “Through this song, they actually feel that he is solid in the happy events. Through how much this song affects them, I realized how much power there is in music and I fell in love with the profession, at every family event.”
