I think it was the David Letterman show a looooong time ago where I was first introduced to Ofra Haza and utterly enchanted by her vocals. I would love to know what song she sung on that show… but I can’t find any mention of it anywhere. It may, I suppose, be a different late night talk show, but at the time I think Letterman was the only one I watched.

Does anyone know?

[H’yar tis](http://youtube.com/watch?v=0CSp2T1NP2Y), from Johnny Carson’s show in 1990. The song is _Ya Ba Ye_. Tons of other stuff on YouTube as well as an official Myspace page [here](http://www.myspace.com/ofrahazaofficial).

Hope this makes up for my being rude to you a while back in the prepaid card thread. 🙂

Also, love your painting.

Ok so now that I heard that I remember that yeah, I really like her stuff. Is anyone here an afficianado and can recommend one of her albums? I can’t afford to buy ALL of them.
