 Riki Gal started singing
children songs and easy pop songs. Then, she came across Matti
Caspi and her musical life changed! Matti Caspi knew how to take advantage of Riki's
fabulous and vibrant voice. This was in 1987, when Riki eventually released her first
album, totally written by Matti Caspi. One thing about Matti Caspi is that I think that he
is a poor singer but a brilliant composer -musician. Anyway, the album was a big
success as well as a big controversy, thanks to the song "Naarat Harock"
(The Rock'nRoll Girl), which talks bluntly about drugs, sex and...rock'n
roll! Certain radios even refused to play the song. A year later, the prolific Matti Caspi
wrote her another album, which turned out to be one of her best, and even sang a duet with
Riki Gal, "Ma Zot Ahava?" (What's this kind of love?). Then
Riki starred in the Hebrew version of the Broadway musical "Evita". She
was absolutely great! Unfortunately, they only released an audio tape, and not the
CD...After that, Riki went back to the studio and recorded "Search Me",
which, in my humble advice is worth forgetting. A good live album followed, and last year,
Riki Gal came up with what is maybe her best album to date, "Ani Ohevet Otcha
Yoter" (I love you most). This last album is also the fruit of another
collaboration with Matti Caspi. Which shows that this is a team made in Heaven!!! At least
musically... |
