Blackfield combines the musical efforts of both musicians and they perform their own original composition as well as Aviv's own songs translated into English. In 2001, Geffen joined Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree to form a new group, "Blackfield". He is also controversial because of his decision not to serve in the IDF, though officially, he was dismissed for medical reasons. His music contains subjects such as love and peace, but also death, suicide, the army, and refusal to serve. Politically, he associates with the Israeli left. Geffen was extremely popular among Israeli youth, who were later known as the "Moonlight Children", in the 1990s. He is the son of writer and poet Yehonatan Geffen and Nurit Makover (sister of Eli Makover), brother of Shira Geffen, and a graduate of Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music. In September of 2008, Ehud Banai released Shir Chadash, an album of traditional Jewish songs (zemirot), including several melodies composed by Shlomo Carlebach.Īviv Geffen (אביב גפן, born May 10, 1973) is an Israeli rock musician, singer, songwriter, producer, keyboardist and guitarist.
The film traces Ehud Banai's early years on the music scene, through the struggle, musical passion and deeply rooted friendship he shared with members of his first band, "The Refugees" – Yossi Elephant, Jean Jacques Goldeberg, Noam Halevi and Gil Smetana. In 2008, "On The Move", a documentary film directed by Avida Livny about Ehud Banai and the Refugees, participated in the official competition of the Jerusalem Film Festival and screened in cinemateques around Israel. Ehud Banai is married to Odeliah, and they have three daughters. Banai habitually scatters references to his connection to Jewish subjects throughout many of his songs. Banai, for the greater part of his musical career, observed Jewish traditions, and even “returned” to Orthodox Jewish religious observance over the course of the early 2000s. At the age of ten he learned to play the cello and listened to Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard and later The Beatles.Įhud Banai writes the lyrics and composes the music for almost all of his own songs. Shemesh had left his third wife and 2 children for Gosh.īanai was born in 1953 in Jerusalem to the actor Yaakov Banai, the eldest of the Banai siblings, and moved to Givataim at the age of four.

Shemesh, with a history of discovering and nourishing talented stars like Aviv Geffen, Eifo HaYeled, HaKhaverim Shel Natasha, HaYehudim, Eviyatar Banai and many more artists, was so impressed by the background vocalist Gosh that he went to her backstage and asked her to sign a contract.Īfter a long period of having a strictly professional relationship, Gosh and Shamesh are now in a more intimate relationship and despite a 25 year age gap are living together in Even Yehuda, Tel Aviv. That show turned out to be an important one, as Bloch and Gosh looked to the audience and saw one of the managers of the major Israeli music label NMC at the time, Khaim Shemesh, where Yoni Bloch was signed at that time. She agreed and after a week she was asked to become a background singer in Bloch’s shows. Gosh's music career began when some friends asked her if she could make a demo recording a song, with Yoni Bloch whom had written it for Nurit Galron (famous Israeli singer). Two years later he recorded his second album, which included "Hiroshima Sheli" (My Hiroshima) and "Tzilo Shel Yom Kaitz" (Summer Day's Shadow). The album included "Ish HaShokolad" (Chocolate Man), "HaLelilot Shelanu" (Our Nights), "Ma Tomri" (What Will You Say) and "No'a Shel HaYam" (The Sea's No'a). After a while they left the Disco style and started to play Rock, founded the band T-Slam, and were joined by Yoshi Sade, Tzuf Philosof and Sami Avzardel.Īfter the successful T-Slam reunion shows in 1990, Ashdot started to work on his first solo album, released in 1992 and eventually reaching "gold" status.
While working for the Army Radio he met Yair Nitzani and Dani Bassan, and together they formed a Disco company and played as DJs in parties. In 1977 he was recruited to the Israel Army Radio as a music programming editor, while simultaneously he worked on his own music and recorded the song "Me'uma Lo Kara" (Nothing Happened) which eventually became T-slam's biggest hit, retitled "Lir'ot Ota Haiom" (See Her Today). When he was 11 Ashdot started to play the guitar, two years later he founded his first group, "The Red Dogs".
He is a co-founding member of the Israeli rock band T-Slam. Izhar Ashdot (born 1958, Jerusalem) is an Israeli singer-songwriter, guitarist, and a record producer.
