Berry Sakharof

Berry Sakharof (Hebrew: ברי סחרוף, [ˈbeʁi ˈsaχaʁof]; born 7 July 1957) is an Israeli rock guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer who is popular and critically acclaimed.

Sakharof and fellow former Minimal Compact guitarist Rami Fortis began an extended period of collaboration, eventually returning to Israel and producing many songs.

[6] By the mid-1990s, Sakharof's was one of the highest-grossing live acts in Israel,[citation needed] and he was commonly referred to in the media as the "prince of Israeli rock".

2011 Sakharof released another solo album, you are here (Ata Nimtza kan) (אתה נמצא כאן), which again brings the classic Sakharof-style with electric guitars, drum computers, synths, bass and vocals.

The lyrics cover a wide range of topics, from the High Holy Days (Yamim haNoraim) (ימים הנוראים), over a ghostly town (Lochesch baMchoniot) (לוחש במחוניות), to relationship problems (Nechama, Zman shel Misparim) (זמן של מספרים).

"The wolf that will dwell with them is not yet born" (haZeev sheyagur itam, adayin lo nolad ... ) ("הזאב שיגור איתם, עדיין לא נולד).

Minimal Compact also played some revival-gigs in late 2011 with Samy Birnbach on vocals and a rare stage presence of Malka Spigel on bass guitar.
