Maitland Bottoms writes to say that he/she has the three albums by Ofra
Haza that were released in the USA:
     
>>      Yemenite Songs
>>      Sha Day   (However it's spelled - the one on Sire)
>>      Desert Wind

I was told once that she is a really big star in Israel, but that "the Fifty
Gates of Wisdom" (the album of Yemenite songs) was the first that put an
ethnic slant to her music.  Her previous albums, I'm told, sound like
"an Israeli Barabara Streisand".
     
I'm not familiar with any but the first two on the list above.
