Rita
Rita is by far the most celebrated and successful singer in Israel. In 2008 she was voted number 1 female singer in a special countdown for Israel's 60th anniversary. Twenty-five years after her career began, Rita continues to prove, with crowded theaters and stadiums alike and with multi-platinum albums, that she is by far the biggest female vocalist Israel has to offer. A true performer, she continues to explore new and exciting musical territories, trying out new sounds and testing her vocals to the limit.
