Soundtrack by Chava Alberstein
“If we have a true folk singer, it is CHAVA ALBERSTEIN, ” Yediot Aharonot, Israel’s largest daily newspaper said about Alberstein, naming her the most important female musician in Israel’s history.
​
Israel’s iconic musician, Chava Alberstein, has released nearly fifty albums since the late 1960′s. A dozen of her albums are gold, six are platinum, and one is triple platinum. Six of her albums have been rewarded the Kinor David Prize, Israel’s Grammy.
​
But these formal accolades don’t capture what it has meant to me as the author of this film to include Chava’s voice in the story.
​
The sound of Chava’s voice and her theatricality had colored my childhood as a young Israeli girl. Her songs are humorous and dramatic, soulful and light. I think of Chava Alberstein not as a sound track, but as a character in the film.
