-I was listening to this incredible duo in the 1960s. Then they seemed to disappear. I am so glad to find them here on KZbin.

[@MrFolky77]

I am just ecstatic!!!! I LOVE them so much!! They are part of my childhood forever... Only 5477 views... The world doesn't know what they're missing...

[@josefbruckner7154]

Both finally in bright Flamenco-mood, and unbelievable lively, aren't they ?

[@galitdol]

Avi is dead in 1918. Pity. But to remember them as a nice vokal couple.

תענוג. איזו זמרת מופלאה.

[@yair1956]

..all you need is a great voice classic guitar & a microphone ..Ester the Nightingale

[@myrecordcollection5602]

Love this song. So far I found it twice on two different albums. Everytime I go vinyl shopping I name drop them hoping to find a new treasure 💎

Μια τρελή αλλά πολύ αγαπημένη. ...αμονταριστα πλάνα. Εσθήρ Οφαριμ.

My favorite thing about this video is the least likely thing. In 2:09 Esther asks "למה עשית את זה?"-"Lama asita et ze?"-"Why did you do it?". Supposedly, nothing special. However, there are so few recordings of Hebrew being casually spoken from that era. Most is just broadcasters or politicians speaking very formally. This sentence sounded exactly like it would today, almost 6 decades later.

איזה שובבה!

[@jokerswildio]

I stumbled on to these two accidentally, by looking for a spanish song "el condor", it was Esther's eyes and voice in that video that captivated me...her voice is just so....soothing!....since then, I have been obsessed. ...I am a Catholic American and have never heard of them....how do they know so many languages?....they do german, spanish and french perfectly! What other duo or singer can do that and with such diversity. ..

[@thejupiter2574]

+jokerswildio As a singing team in the early 60's they also did covers of some American folk songs during the Beatnik era and she would wear a black turtle neck with hair bangs and a flip like Barbra Streisand / she does have a beautiful flowing but haunting old soul singing voice as in the folksong ""Wanderlove" or Wander love by Mason Williams is haunting and beautiful and a lighter version of the same song sung by Claudine Longet

[@pecan111]

They used to be quite famous and performed in the US...however as of 5-4-18 Abi Ofarim died in Munich, Germany. Still love listening to her voice, esp when younger like this one. She has such a lovely voice.

[@PS-xs4fz]

Yeah man me 2 just found out about this artists!! But in what song do they speak french? Id love to know. And what language is this exactly?

[@Gmartins5572]

@@PS-xs4fz Hebrew

[@PS-xs4fz]

@@Gmartins5572 I found out about that already but still thanks for the answer after all !

[@8gomerpyle22]

It's crazy - they're speaking English, German, Hebrew and God knows what else and playing flamenco music.

[@ingeborghelmer9103]

Still great, relaxes me, just feel good listening to them both xxxooo

[@edithhabedank8346]

Die Stimme von Esther Ofarim einfach wunderbar genial und ihre Ausstrahlung. Als ich das erste Mal in the Morning hörte..... ab da war ich ihr Fan.

[@janarnaud8058]

The Spanish song is called "Anda jaleo" a traditional Andalusian song compiled and recorded by Federico García Lorca un 1931, who made the arrangements and played piano too. The singer was La Argentinita. It was published in a record called "Canciones populares españolas".

[@charleshow2052]

reminds me of 59 my second passage Ba Aretz

[@hans102002]

daliah lavi sings that song very good too.

[@thejupiter2574]

Listen to Esther Ofarim sing the folk song called " Wanderlove" by Mason Williams it's a beautiful song cover

[@hansvanniekerk768]

....and listen to their version of the Bee Gees' song "The Morning of my Life"

[@aleksandraaranitovic4319]

Can someone translate this song, please?

[@lyricrogersofficial]

What does Esther say at 4:17?

[@InbarLeibovitz]

she says "but it's not important" :)

[@kb6kgx]

So how was it that two ISRAELI singers, born in the same town, Tsfat, spend most of their career together in Europe, and Abi... at least... remained there and still lives in Germany. Very strange, to me, anyway, to hear him speaking German. Well, you know... considering... what happened there... 20+ years before.

[@deanbevis8534]

Hi I'm a great fan of the Ofarims Can you tell me what happened 20 years before and why they split up? Regards

[@barbarbar767]

Shows you things change and one do not need to remain bitter?

[@christiangreiwe6782]

He died a few days ago... so doesnt live any longer! RIP Abi!

[@brett71jay]
