Yehudah Poliker was born in 1950 to a Yemenite family in Jerusalem. His debut album 'Shalom Haverim' came out in 1976 and included the song 'Afar Ve'avak,' which became one of his most recognizable tracks.
His music often draws from traditional Yemenite sounds while incorporating elements of Western rock. Songs like 'Boker Yom Rishon' and 'Gag Ha'olam' show his tendency toward introspective lyrics that touch on personal and social themes.
Poliker's outspoken nature has sometimes drawn attention.
He has worked with various musicians over time, including Danny Sanderson on guitar and Yoni Rechter on keyboards.
