About this album

Shaday is the breakthrough album that brought Ofra Haza’s voice to a global audience. Released in 1988, it fuses Yemeni Jewish musical heritage with synth-pop, downtempo and tribal electronic textures, creating a sound that felt both rooted and contemporary. The album’s international profile was transformed by “Im Nin’alu”, a song that became a worldwide calling card for Haza’s soaring vocals and distinctively cross-cultural style. Shaday helped establish her as one of the most original voices in late-1980s popular music, bridging Middle Eastern traditions and club-ready production without losing its emotional directness.
