Eran Zur Essentials

For three decades, Eran Zur has been a leading force on the Israeli alternative-rock scene, often crossing over to wider audiences with his melodic tunes and unusual lyrics. This diverse playlist covers the various phases of Zur's career, from his start as a young post-punk rocker fascinated with sex and violence in his first band, Tatu, through his time in the groundbreaking alt-rock group Carmela Gross Wagner and his latest phase as a mature solo artist. Collected here are some of his boldest and most striking performances, including his sung versions of poems by Yona Wallach.
