David Broza is an Israeli singer-songwriter born in Haifa in 1955. His music draws from folk, rock, and Middle Eastern sounds, with early influences including Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. He grew up on a kibbutz, and his mother's Spanish background also shaped his musical sensibilities.
His song 'Shir Ahava Bedui' became something of an anthem, known for its themes of love that cross cultural lines. Other songs like 'Achshav Machar' and 'Al Tish'ali Im Ani Ohev' show his range as a writer. He has released albums such as 'Kedayma' in 1980, 'Ahavat David' in 1984, and 'Mediterranean' in 1996.
He has collaborated with musicians like Jackson Browne, Carlos Santana, and Khaled. His band has included guitar player Ishai Amir, drummer Assaf Spector, and bassist Ofer Vilkomirski.
