Noa's concert in Geneve, Switzerland

Noa's concert in Geneve, Switzerland

Dotée d'une voix exceptionnelle - certains la surnomment "la voix de l'espoir et de la paix" – Noa est aussi une femme de cœur: elle est aujourd'hui ambassadrice de l'ONU. Ayant grandi à New York, Noa décide à seize ans de s'installer en Israël. Sa musique, inspirée par Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell et Paul Simon, est un voyage musical vers le cœur des ses racines: l’héritage de son Yémen natal, son éducation en Israël, le conflit intérieur qu’elle avait connu en tant qu’adolescente New-yorkaise d’origines mixtes. Depuis plus de quinze ans, ses superbes chansons surpassent les frontières et forment ainsi un pont solide entre la musique occidentale et traditionnelle. A travers le monde, elle donne des concerts en compagnie de Gil Dor, mettant sa musique au service de ce qu’elle défend ardemment: la paix.

Known in Israel by her given name Achinoam Nini, Noa is IsraelÃs leading international concert and recording artist. Born in Tel- Aviv in 1969, Noa lived in NYC from age 2 until her return to Israel alone at the age of 17. Her family is originally from Yemen. After serving the mandatory two years in the Israeli Army in a military entertainment unit, Noa studied music at the Rimon School where she met her long-time partner and collaborator Gil Dor. NoaÃs strongest influences come from the singer-songwriters of the 60s, like Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. These musical and lyrical sensibilities, combined with NoaÃs Yemenite roots and Gil DorÃs strong background in Jazz, Classical and Rock, have created Noa and GilÃs unique sound, manifested in hundreds of songs written and performed together. Noa plays percussion, guitar and piano. She is married to Dr. Asher Barak, they have two children, Ayehli and Enea, and live in Israel.
