Dudu Tassa

David "Dudu" Tassa (Hebrew: דודו טסה; born February 10, 1977) is an Israeli rock musician,[1] singer, songwriter and record producer.

He studied in the theater program at Ironi Alef High School, and at the age of 15 he released his debut album, "Ohev et Ha'Shirim" (Hebrew: אוהב את השירים, "Loving the Songs"), produced by Yishai Ben Tzur.

In 2000, after finishing his military service, Tassa released the album Yoter Barur (יותר ברור, "Clearer"), which was critically acclaimed despite slim sales.

The album also included Tassa's version of "Fog el Nakhal", a famous Iraqi folk song that was also performed by his grandfather Daoud Al-Kuwaity.

In 2012 Tassa released the album Skharkhoret (סחרחורת, "dizziness"),[5] and participated in Benny Torati's film "Balada La’Aviv Haboche" (בלדה לאביב הבוכה [he], Ballad Of The Weeping Spring).

[10] Tassa began working on the album about a decade before his release, when he was asked to record the Iraqi classical folk song "Fog el Nakhal" for the soundtrack of "Turn Left at the End of the World".

The album featured Berry Sakharof, Yehudit Ravitz and Carmela Tassa, Dudu's mother and the daughter of Daoud Al-Kuwaity, who contributed her voice in some Arabic language songs.

The recording of the first album was documented in the film "Iraq n' Roll" (2011) that tells the story of collecting and reviving the music of the Al-Kuwaity Brothers.
