Zohar Argov (Hebrew: זוהר ארגוב, born Zohar Orkabi on July 16, 1955, died November 6, 1987) was a popular Israeli singer and a distinctive voice in the Mizrahi music scene. Argov is widely known in Israel as The king of Mizrahi music The most serious hurdle on his way to stardom was Argovs socioeconomic background. He was born in Rishon LeZion, and grew up in a poor family, the eldest of ten children. His remarkable singing abilities were cultivated at home, through his participation from early childhood in the singing and chanting of the religious Yemenite community. Argov was among the first singers to achieve commercial and nationwide success in the sphere of Middle Eastern-Mediterranean/oriental (Mizrahi)-style music, despite the fact that his music was not mainstream at the time, and radio stations gave predominance to pop music from overseas. youtu.be/vcpgpEUlKfk?list=RDFL3e07hJKOo
