אילנית


אילנית {Ilanit } (b. 1947) is an Israeli singer that represented her country twice in the Eurovision Song Contest. She was born on the 17th September 1947 in Tel Aviv, Israel. In 1973 she first took part in Luxembourg where she reached the fourth position with the song Ey Sham (Somewhere). This was also the first ever participation of Israel in the Song contest. The second participation by Ilanit was in London in 1977 with a song entitled Ahava Hi Shir le Shnaim (Love Is a Song for Two), and came eleventh. Ilanit almost took part for a third time in 1984; she was appointed by IBA to sing the song Balalaika. The organising Luxembourg network however, decided to organise the 1984 Eurovision Song Contest on an Israeli memorial day. The IBA subsequently withdrew their entry. At that time Ilanit was already one of Israel's most popular singers, and the song Balalaika became an instant hit, despite her not taking part in the contest. Ilanit continued to experience major successes in her home country. Together with other established Israeli artists she took part in a tour through North America in 2005. However, she hasn't released any new records since 1999. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
