Havazelet Ron
חבצלת רון
(1936-2013)
Yemenite singer, who started
her carrier in Israel in 1961 and
later was famous
in East Germany (DDR) in 1964 and 1965.
She sang oriental songs in Yemenite, Hebrew, Yiddish, English and German language,
which she performed in tv- and radio-shows and in several concerts.

Finally I found
out the mystery about Havazelet Ron, when her son contacted me.
There unfortunately I learned that Havazelet sadly passed away this February.
I wish we would have been
in contact before...
Some
interesting facts:
After Havazelet
Ron, (born as Havazelet Damari), was famous in East Germany (DDR),
she met someone in West Germany and got married in 1968.
Before her son was born in 1969 she left the entertainment business and became a
housewife.
The young family happily lived in Mannheim (West Germany) until 1980.
Then they moved to Israel and stayed until 1984, when they went to Los Angeles
(USA).
Later Havazelet Ron worked as a kindergarden teacher and enjoyed her
grandchildren.
During her years in the entertainment business Havazelet recorded several vinyl
records,
performed in various tv shows and toured with a group through several countries
(e.g. Bulgaria).

Update of
2011:
Recently I found these two
articles among others about her in an Israeli newspaper archive:
|
![]() Article of 1960: Poll - What to do with Eichmann: Havatzelet Ron, born in Aden, 17 years in Israel, is a singer: "Like a fish, fry him with pepper and salt. his actions justify and stoning." |
Update of 2018:
Revue
in Hungarian
("The Morning" Newspaper, April 5, 1960) A
special luck for the young singer Havazelet Ron, these days. First, a LP
record of her own has just appeared in the company "Makolit",
which contains about a dozen original Yemenite songs, their wording,
their language and their special tone. Second,
she became the star of the successful nightclub "Omar Khayyam." And
if that were not enough, she was invited to participate in the special
performance of the Hungarian band in Israel. She
is always "rolling" to immigrant language bands, and even her
debut on stage was in the Romanian theater of Haim Evron, founder of the
"Immigrant Theater", which did not take root, as suggested by
singer Leah Deganit.
