Arik Einstein

Arik Einstein is an Israeli singer-songwriter and actor. During his long and fertile career, began at the MB The Nahal Brigade Band, Einstein became an icon of Israelism, marking both quality and the popular. During the 1970s Einstein, together with Shalom Hanoch and the rock group the Churchills, created a new Israeli sound which was influenced by Anglo-American rock and roll. Beyond his warm and tender voice and the hundreds of songs he recorded, including a multi album project of new versions for Israeli classics, Einstein's contribution to Israeli music was his unique ability to work with other artists, writers and musicians. He enabled them to create some of the masterpieces of modern Hebrew music. His contribution to the cinema and acting in Israel is constitutive; beside his excellent acing performances in Uri Zohar's films "Big Eyes" and Metzitzim, he was a partner in creating a new colloquial Israeli language, simple and authentic, which stood in contrast to the artificial, censored and literary language which was dominant in Israeli cinema.
