Etti Ankri (also known as "Eti" or "Etty," and "Ankari")[1] is one of Israel's most famous female singers and songwriters.

She is a former Female Singer of the Year in Israel, and has also performed in the United States, England, and India.

Ankri has been called: "rock genius," the "Poet of Israeli Spirituality," and "the contemporary voice of ... Israel." [2][3]

Ankri is of Tunisian Jewish heritage, and was raised in Lod, Israel.

She attended the Ma'apilim elementary school, and the Ramle-Lod high school.

Her father, Andre, was a policeman, and her mother, Hanna, a homemaker.

Her artistic mentor in her teenage years was the actress Miriam Nevo, who was teaching at the community center in Lod.

Ankri's first and most popular album was: "I See You in Your Eyes" (1990), a double platinum. She followed it with six other albums. [4] She is also featured in: "Her Song: Exotic Voices of Women from Around the World" (1996), and in Matti Caspi's "Duets" (2000).

Ankri is known for her moving, emotional, and often ethnic pop songs, which she writes herself. Her music has also been described as "exotic, romantic, and spiritual." [5] Her voice has been likened to an alto sax.

Of late, Ankri has teamed with David D'Or to form a fascinating complementary duo that has developed a very strong following.[6]

Her discography includes:

  • I See You in Your Eyes (1990); double platinum album
  • Her Song: Exotic Voices of Women from Around the World (1996); 1 song [7]
  • Nonetheless and Regardless (1997)
  • The Best of Etti Ankri (2005)

Ankri has also acted in a number of Israeli and US movies. Among them are "Deadline" (1987) with Christopher Walken, and "Steal the Sky" (1988) with Ben Cross and Mariel Hemingway.[10]
