Shlomo Bar (Hebrew: שלמה בר; born 25 June 1943) is an Israeli musician, composer, and social activist.

[2] He learned how to play the darbuka and other ethnic percussion instruments, performing in various small lineups and as a backing musician for artists such as Matti Caspi on tours.

Bar set to music and performed several of Sobol's songs, including "Yeladim Ze Simcha" (Children are joy).

The original lineup was Samson Kehimkar, an Indian violin and sitar virtuoso, Miguel Herstein, an American guitarist, the bassist Yisrael Borochov, and Bar on percussion and vocals.

The first album, "Elei Shorashim" (Origins, or a Return to Roots), combined traditional Moroccan and Yiddish music, with Indian elements and motifs, as well as new renditions of songs by Israeli poets.
