Achinoam Nini/ Noa/ נועה - Ave Maria Gounod

Achi Noam, Noa, reflects for me the True face of Israel. Not only for her beautiful looks, but also for the dignity she shows in reaching out to embrace other cultures and nations in the spirit of peace, harmony, and music.
She is known internationally and this year released some wonderful tracks, in English, Hebrew, and Arabic, with Mira Awad. Magnificent vocal partnership and every other kind of partnership.
Here is Achi Noam singing Gounod's Ave Maria with lyrics in English. Just listen at the end of the song when she fuses with her yemen origin. Beautiful!

I have been resident in Israel for almost 14 years now and I would like to share some of the great joys I have discovered here, both in the people, the wonderful contrasted land scapes and temperatures, the yummy food, and the amazing music.
I won't deal with politics or religion as both bore me to death, and don't reflect in anyway my experiences here.
So lets start with the amazing Achi Noam and a traditional Yemen song and singers.(see video above)
I never met people from Yemen until I came here and many of my best friends are from this origin. They are a very warm, hospitibal, honest and loyal people, blessed with long dark curly hair, and beautiful olive skin that you dont see wrinkles on until they're at least 100 years old!
I admire Achi Noam very much, not only for her beautiful voice and looks, but also for the courage she has in reaching out Internationally and universally to other cultures and traditions. She has albums in English and has worked with Sting and other major recording artists, and is truely a wonderful strong, brave and beautiful
embassador for Israel.
