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
Ofra Haza
[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.
