THEATER Broza sings in three languages — Hebrew, Spanish and English. It Will Be Good Israeli folksinger David Broza hopes to achieve the same success in the U.S. that he has in his homeland LILA ORBACH Special to The Jewish News 0 nce he picks up his gui- tar, the voyage begins. It's a Spanish melo- dy and within moments you're on the banks of the river of Seville or the shores of the Dead Sea or perhaps you're driving the flatlands of the Midwest. David Broza, one of Israel's most successful (and most romantic) musi- cians, embraces his guitar like a woman, using it as a bridge to connect Israeli, Spanish and American music and culture. From gentle melodies to soft rock, his guitar serves for both pitch and percussion. And he rarely puts it down. Not even for a moment. During a recent concert at the University of Michigan's Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in Ann Arbor, sponsored by the B'nai Brith Hillel Foundation, Broza tapped, clapped and rapped on his guitar, all the while strumming and singing and enrapturing the crowd for more than two hours. During the last three years, Israeli-born Broza has performed almost solely for American audiences, hoping his success in Israel will spread to the United States. Broza's image as a romantic folk- rock singer peaked following the war in Lebanon when he made the tran- sition from protest songs to love songs. At that time he produced his third and most successful record, Ha Eesha Sh'eetee (The Woman With Me), which sold triple platinum soon after its release. The album was full of love songs, ballads and Hebrew lyrics translated from Spanish poetry. Broza, 32, was born in Haifa. His mother, Sharona, daughter of Major Wellesley Aron, a British immigrant who helped found Habonim and the Jewish Brigade, was one of the yishuv's (pre-state Israel's Jewish community) first folk singers. His father, Arthur, immigrated to Palestine from London and served first in the 'RAF and then the Israel Air Force. Most of Broza's teenage years were spent in Madrid, where his parents had moved to start a new business venture. It was in Spain that Broza first picked up a guitar. "It was the thing to do in school in Madrid," says Broza, whose guitar strums and melodies reflect his passion for Spanish music. At 16, Broza was sent to Carmel JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER 6600 W.
