EUROVISION MEMORIES- Hi.
EUROVISION MEMORIES
Check back here for a regular look back from the Eurovision archives for some past songs from the last 60 years of the Eurovision Song Contest: the good, the bad & the ugly!
HI

[1983- Israel]

Ofra Haza had already enjoyed success in Israel prior to her appearance at Eurovision. Coming second out of 20 nations, her profile increased significantly. The song was sung in Hebrew with “Hi” translating as “Alive”. In 1988, she gained an international hit song with “Im Nin’alu”. The song was later sampled on “Pump Up The Volume” by M/A/R/R/S. Sadly, in 2000, Haza died of AIDS-related pneumonia. By then, she was a cherished Israeli star. Israel's runner-up position in 1983 repeated the country's 2nd place the previous year.
