Ariel Horovitz

Doors at Shablul club open an hour and a half before the show starts. It's recommended to arrive close to doors-opening time. Ariel Horovitz - 25 Years of Rina. Twenty-five years ago, we went to the cinema with Ariel Horovitz and fell in love with the actress. Since then, Horovitz has established himself as one of Israel's most original and prolific creators, with eight solo albums (and one novel), alongside songs he wrote for others that became part of the local soundtrack. Over the years, Horovitz has written about both personal and national moments alike: in 1998, with the reservists' protest anthem 'Sigal Nehamias' and with 'Yalla Bye,' which became the most-played song on the radio that year. In 2000 he wrote and composed 'HaAhava Meta' (Love Is Dead), song of the year performed by Tamar Giladi, and in 2001 came 'Rina.' Since then he has continued responding through his music to Israeli reality: from 'Kokos,' which he wrote for Chava Alberstein, through 'Rakafot Bein HaSlaim' (Cyclamens Among the Rocks) and 'Esrim Elef Ish' (Twenty Thousand People), up to the songs released since October 7th — 'Ani Ma'amin' (I Believe) and 'Min Eliflet.' Behind the rock sound and the cynical humor hides a creator who, in his own way, also carries on the poetic tradition of his mother, Naomi Shemer. When he pauses to look back on more than two decades of creative work, what emerges is a contemporary Israeli poet writing the local story. Horovitz isn't just a wonderful musician — in his lyrics he represents the healthiest possible approach to life in this country… Kalil Hayoun, Maariv.
