Arik recieved the title 

"Most *Israeli* Artist"!!!

According to the poll held by Mooma (the famous Israeli music site), Arik is

#1 in Israeli musical culture. 

Why? There are some of the answers:

- He was the first in Israel to allow himself to use

foreign music achievements.

- Arik is centre of all modern Israelian art. He is

our John Lennon.

- It seems like he was always here, with us.

- Arik has been leading Israeli musical culture since

French chanson times, through the rock

revolution that came from England. He has done a lot in

all aspects of the music industry - from immortalizing old songs

to working with the youngest of pop-musicians. And not to forget 

songs made from the words of Israel's greatest poets.

- His voice, his image. Everything about him is Israeli culture

at its best. Doesn't matter, whatever words he sings,

you will always find something close to your soul -

anew.

- On the one hand, Arik is a quintesention of beautiful

Aretz-Israel in songs of Good Old Israel. On the other,

he is a personification of the free world, of Tel-Aviv

boheme in the 70s, which many people are fond of.

- Sabra, tel-avivi, he has built his art without

prejudice and contributed to a revolution in Israeli music in

the 70s. He has found a new way for Israeli songs, other then

that of military bands. He is a poet of everyday Israel, its life,

small nest, where Tel Aviv and football, love and anger, coexist.

He does it till today with his marvelous talent

and style.

- He is not only a singer but also a person, personality - he is 

the all-Israeli ideal.

He is an artist who since the 60s has been making his way into

music lovers hearts and won them over with his unbelievable

richness of nuances and tones. Arik's own style, his voice's timbre,

is ever-familiar from the first note. You cannot mistake

him for anyone else - these are his core characteristics as the most 

Israeli artist.

- Every time I listen to the "Shablool" album  and

especially to "Avshalom" - I have tears in my eyes.

- We grew up with his songs. When away from our native

land, we were singing "San Francisco On The Water". 

- Arik Einstein is always himself. He never

betrays his way, his views, he is still making the

most Israeli music - the best of what we know and love.
