Kashmir with an Israeli/Yemenite sound. I first heard Ofra Haza on an album made in the early 1970s for EL-AL airlines called "Songs of Israel". And ive been a fan of hers ever since. G-d rest her soul.
@red5llaw You did NOT just call OFRA HAZA an average singer. Go check out her slower songs (even the alternate version of this one), and get your ears checked too.
@rpvee Whatever. Her Voice is one of tens of thousands that sound the same.
THIS cover of Kashmir SUCKS. Big Time. Her voice might be okay for HER own songs or songs written for her - But Led Zep...Leave it alone Ofra.
People's voices are Instraments, some suit. some don't. This Track DOESN'T suit her Voice. I'm glad you like her but she does a shitty version of Kashmir. Period.
@red5llaw It's a matter of taste, I suppose. I personally think that this cover is great and does what a cover should: make the song fit the singer. But you can't deny that when in her natural Middle Eastern element her voice was one of the best ever. Listen to "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav", for example, that's true vocal power. You can't find tens of thousands of voices like that.
I can understand Led Zep fans being hostile to cover versions. But this version in no way disrespects the original. It was never made as a commercial rip-off. It is Ofra's unique take emphasising her Middle Eastern background. After all, the song is set in the East. Aren't there over 100 versions of 'Yesterday'? Never heard Paul McCartney complaining!
@THESLOWDISCO You're correct in that she did not do the song with Zeppelin. However, this version of the song is not fake, it's from the "Mata Hari" single. It's simple mis-titled by the uploader as "Led Zeppelin Feat.".
@rpvee it's not just "mis-titled" - but a cheap trick to get viewers' attention - pathetic - tho the idea of a REmix (coz thats wot u did) is ok - the execution mediocre.
@EcoleaSchwerinMusik It's not a remix. This is an official version of the song by Ofra. She did two: the really slow, haunting one, and then this one.
There was a first version, backing the 'Mata Hari' single which was Ofra singing Kashmir as a 'straight' rendition which I have only heard before as demo on a download site.
Then the new arrangement version on the unpublished 'Queen in Exile' album.
Finally a slightly modified issue of the latter version published on 'Greatest Hits 2' CD3 along with almost all of Queen in Exile tracks.
The shame is, Ofra Haza had a great voice but this just saps all the power and majesty from a great song.

Is this based on Ofra's "other" version of Kashmir - 'B-side' of "Mata Hari" ?
The "not-other" version being the "Queen In Exile" album version which can be found elsewhere on YouTube and has a different dynamic.

Which version is the really slow, Middle Eastern-sounding one? And what's the third one?

How is the one on Greatest Hits different from the one from Queen in Exile?
And where can I hear the first version?
rpvee 2 years ago
Not by much.
First version is on the Mata Hari single if you can find one - try Ebay.- worldwide search.
