Sarit Hadad grew up in Netanya, Israel, with parents who were both singers in the Moroccan Jewish community. Her debut album 'Likvod Ha'shabbat' came out in 1995, and it connected quickly with listeners. Songs like 'Ahava Bli Sikui' and 'Be'ezrat Hashem' show her way with melody and vocal delivery.
Her music sometimes stirred things up. In 2002, the song 'Shema Israel' drew criticism from some religious authorities for how it used sacred texts.
On stage, she's backed by musicians including guitarist Ben Aharon, drummer Ohad Cohen, and oud player Michael Avshalom. She has recorded with artists like Idan Raichel and Yossi Piamenta, which brought her sound to different ears. The track 'LIR'OT ET HAKE'EV' is one example of how her singing carries both traditional feeling and contemporary reach.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
