שימי תבורי

Shimi Tavori (Hebrew: שימי תבורי‎) is an Israeli singer. Born Sheemshon (Samson) Tawili (Hebrew: שמשון טווילי‎), Feb. 9, 1953 in Ness Ziona, Israel. A household name in Israel, Tavori also enjoys renown in France & Canada, where some of his dozens of records were released in French. Although his career is generally classified as a Mizrahi music singer (or Middle Eastern/Mediterranean), one can observe in his work a heavy influence of the popular French & Italian music of the 60's (perhaps as they were best expressed in the "Sanremo Music Festival"). Despite the significant ups and downs of his personal and professional life, he has established himself as an icon in Israeli music & culture. Read more on Last.fm.
