Ofra Haza - Ofra Haza [Or]

Glittering in all its golden splendor, the limited edition vinyl of Ofra Haza's 1997 self-titled album shines like a beacon in the annals of world music. With only 750 copies pressed on luxurious 180 gram audiophile vinyl, this album is a rare find that shines with both its musical genius and its collector appeal.

Released during the vibrant and transformative 1990s, the album was the beloved Israeli diva's final full-length studio recording before her untimely passing in 2000. Produced by sound maestro Frank Peterson – known for his work with Enigma and Gregorian – the record fused Haza's Middle Eastern roots with Western pop sensibilities. Pino Palladino, a renowned bassist, brings his groove to these tracks, further enriching the mix. Among the highlights is the updated version of his international hit "Im Nin' Alu", a track that bridges the gap between the old and the avant-garde.

The collection also includes the haunting singles “Show Me” and “Give Me a Sign,” demonstrating Haza’s versatility and commanding presence. Recorded at the prestigious Abbey Road Studios in London and Hamburg, each track is packed with lush production and diverse instrumental textures, testament to Haza's cross-cultural impact and flair.

For audiophiles and collectors, this limited gold-colored vinyl is not just an album, it's a piece of musical history. Its glittering exterior reflects the luminous legacy that Haza left behind, ensuring that her voice resonates through time in the most dignified groove possible.
