Eviatar Banai's first album caused a sensation on the Israeli pop scene of the late '90s. Strange and poignant lyrics, soft melodies, and a voice that could both howl and whisper—here was a true phenomenon. Banai's ability to boldly sing about personal issues such as the souring of love or his return to the Jewish faith always surprises and challenges. He is a true seeker, and his career now spans singing, composing and writing, as well as producing music for other artists.
