Matti Caspi

Matti Caspi (Hebrew: מתי כספי) is an Israeli composer, musician, singer, arranger, and lyricist.

Caspi was granted a divorce by the Beverly Hills Rabbinical Court, although at the time the case was still pending in Israel.

[citation needed] During the 1970s he worked closely with Ehud Manor, another Israeli songwriter, and released some of his most popular songs: "Lo Yadati SheTelchi Mimeni" (I Didn't Know You Would Leave Me), "Brit Olam" (Covenant of Love), and "Shir HaYonah" (The Song of the Dove).

Over the next few decades, Caspi had a prolific musical career, released dozens of records and collaborated with some of the biggest and most well known Israeli artists of the time: Shlomo Gronich, Ehud Manor, Yehudit Ravitz, and Shalom Hanoch.

Musicologist Tzipi Fleischer said: With some Israeli artists (chiefly Riki Gal), he not only took on the role of composer, but also of the producer.

For Riki's 1996 album Ohevet otcha yoter (I Love You More), he took responsibility for complete production and also songwriting.

At least once, at the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest, he also served as a conductor, leading the Netherlands' Metropole Orkest in his composition "Emor Shalom", performed by Chocolate, Menta, Mastik and also arranged by Caspi.
