[2] From a young age Damari played drums and sang accompaniment for her mother, who performed at family celebrations and gatherings of the Yemenite community in Palestine.

In August 1938 she performed for the first time as a soloist on the radio in Yemenite songs by the poet Shalom Shabazi, accompanied by oud and drums.

On the eve of the rise of the State of Israel, with Moshe Wilensky, she made an exciting concert tour in the detention camps in Cyprus,[9][10] where she sang the song "The Home" and also a well-known song in Yiddish called "Raisins and Almonds" ("Razhinkes mit Mandalen").

Her first record was released in 1948 and her best-known song Kalaniyot (Anemones), by Moshe Wilensky, dates from that period.

After the independence of Israel and throughout the late 1970s, Damari performed all over the United States,[11] France, England, South Africa, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Canada, Scandinavia and Japan.

In the 1950s Damari was a guest on Moshe Wilensky's radio programs on Kol Israel, where she performed new songs he had composed, such as "The Little Shepherd from the Valley" and "Leor Ha-Zikronot".

In 2005 she recorded two tracks for the Mimaamakim album by Idan Raichel's Project and participated in some of their live performances.
