Alberstein, Chava (1947–)
Folk and pop singer-guitarist Chava (also Hava) Alberstein is one of Israel's most important, respected, and prolific entertainers; one of the few Israeli artists whose popularity spans decades both in her native country and abroad.
Chava Alberstein, one of Israel's most popular musicians, is a peace activist who has opposed her country's policies on the Palestinians.
Her career resembles that of other female folk singers such as the American Joan Baez and the Argentinian Mercedes Sosa, illustrating the connection between folk music and the performance realm of musical self-expression combined with political and social activism.
For her achievements she has received the degree of Doctor Philosophie Honoris Causa from Tel Aviv University.
Her success is even more impressive considering the fact that she has aimed for the highest artistic standards while remaining true to her political and social agendas.
She has tirelessly promoted collaborations with the most prominent and respected Israeli poets, composers, and producers in tandem with developing her own compositional and lyrical skills
