Nurit Galron

Nurit Galron was born in 1951 in Herzliya

Nurit Galron was born Nurit Klimburd on 21 March 1951 in Herzliya and grew up in the Neve Amal neighborhood. Her mother, Leah Sitin, sang with a Jewish Brigade band before leaving the stage. Her father, Moshe, had served in Anders' Army, lost his wife and child in the Holocaust, and came to the Land of Israel.

She began performing in 1970 in the Golani Brigade entertainment troupe. After the army she studied film and theater at Tel Aviv University and sang in small clubs. She then took the surname Galron.

Her first solo album came out in late 1978 and was later called the Purple Album. In 1981 she released an album of poems by Nathan Zach. Her 1989 song about public indifference to the First Intifada was banned from airplay by the Israel Broadcasting Authority, which led to a public debate on freedom of expression.

In the 1990s she worked with younger rock artists such as Aviv Geffen, and in 1995 she recorded an album with the Raanana Symphonette Orchestra. She released a second album of Nathan Zach songs in 2010 and has acted in TV series. She is married to journalist Rafi Reshef.
