I too miss Orfa,I expect to add Noa to my music collection,(not as a copy of Orfa, but as a equally remarkable musician in the same field) thank you for the reference. Yemeni music is an experience. Too bad they did not do better in the Eurovision but, Like most events, the home field always gets priority.

Thanks for the links. Theirs is a beautiful song. I’m sure you remember another Yemenite Israeli singer who stunned the world–the late Ofra Haza. Her music was fantastic!
