Multi-award wining musician Corinne Allal, the writer and singer of many much-loved songs over the past five decades, has died aged 69.
Allal was born in Tunisia and emigrated to Israel along with her family at the age of eight. She began her career as a backing singer, before later entering the spotlight.
Her hits included “Antarctica” and “Zan Nadir.” In 1985, she composed the melody for the song “I Have No Other Land” with lyrics by Ehud Manor.
According to the Kan public broadcaster, Allal announced the cancellation of a number of shows in 2023 due to medical issues, later revealing she had pancreatic cancer.
She is survived by her partner Ruti and their two children, Omer and Yonatan.
