Noa's concert in Brussels (Belgium)


Peaceful, heartwarming Israeli songstress

Born in Israel but with links to Yemen and New York. A striking, slender figure, now finally returns. With a new (7th?) international CD out too, here via Rough Trade: ‘Classic Noa’!

Noa is Achinoam Nini in full. She mainly sings fantastically in Hebrew or English. But the songs can sound Napolitan or Yemeni too. Beauty reigns! Also in her many collaborations with notable partners or larger orchestras. Like this time too, as actually this programme is titled: Noa with Gil Dor and the Solis String Quartet and special guest Mira Awad + Sarina.

Aside from singing, Noa also plays guitar, piano and percussion. She can always count on the input of permanent musical partner Gil Dor, although her CDs might also happen to be produced by a Pat Metheny or Rupert Hine.

She's already shared stages with Bobby McFerrin, Esther Ofarim, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Dalares, Santana, Maurane, Sheryl Crow... Up to and including Bill Clinton and the Pope! Her version of ‘Ave Maria’was a heavenly hit.

But you're also sure to recognize Noa from her remarkable visit with Palestine's Mira Awad during the Eurovision Song Contest of 2009 (the 'more sober' trailer of which, below.)

What's possibly even more remarkable is her magnificent contribution to the soundtrack of that heartbreaking hit film La Vita è Bella: ‘Beautiful That Way’. That's the way it is: beautiful!

Vredevolle, hartverwarmende Israëlische zangeres

Geboren in Israël, maar met banden in Yemen én New York. Een opvallende, ranke verschijning, nu eindelijk terug in het land. Met ook een nieuwe (7de?) internationale cd uit, hier via Rough Trade:'Classic Noa'!

Noa heet voluit Achinoam Nini. Ze zingt vooral fantastisch in het Hebreeuws of het Engels. Maar de liedjes kunnen ook Napolitaans of Yemenitisch klinken. Schoonheid overweegt! Ook bij haar vele samenwerkingen met opvallende partners of grotere orkesten. Zoals ook nu weer, want eigenlijk heet dit programma: Noa with Gil Dor and the Solis String Quartet and special guest Mira Awad + Sarina.

Naast zingen beheerst Noa ook gitaar, piano en percussie. Ze kan immer rekenen op de inbreng van vaste muzikale partner Gil Dor. Al ligt de productie van haar cd's ook al eens in handen van een Pat Metheny of Rupert Hine.

Ze deelde al het podium met Bobby McFerrin, Esther Ofarim, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Dalares, Santana, Maurane, Sheryl Crow... Tot en met Bill Clinton en de paus! Haar versie van 'Ave Maria' was een hemelse hit.

Maar u kent Noa wellicht ook van haar opmerkelijke passage met de Palestijnse Mira Awad tijdens het Euro Songfestival van 2009 (waarvan hieronder de 'soberder' trailer.)

En zo mogelijk nog frappanter is haar fraaie bijdrage aan de soundtrack van die hartverscheurende succesfilm La Vita è Bella:'Beautiful That Way'. Zo is dat: mooi!
