Dudu Elharar (also spelled Elharrar; Hebrew: דודו אלהרר; born in 1945) is an Israeli singer, music producer, actor and television and radio presenter.
Thus he became one of the pioneers of a movement that was popular in Israeli music in the 1970s – recording pop songs with lyrics by Hebrew poets.
He recorded songs written by Yaakov Shabtai, Yehuda Halevi, Haim Hefer, Meir Ariel and other famous poets and composed by Shalom Hanoch, Yochanan Zarai, Matti Caspi, Shosh Reisman and others.
Later during the 1970s, Elharar along with guitarist Yosi Piamenta also became one of the pioneers of the fusion of Israeli rock with ethnic Middle Eastern music.
While continuing his musical work, mostly as a producers, since the early 1980s Elharar was active in many social endeavors – volunteering for organization that help mentally ill people, prisoners, drug addicts and families who lost their loved ones in the Israeli wars.
