Riki Gal (Hebrew: ריקי גל)is an Israeli singer.
Rivka Menashe (later Riki Gal) was born in 1950. After her discharge from the IDF, she released her first single and an album called World of Jacques Berl. She has collaborated with Matti Caspi, Ehud Manor and Louie Lahav. She played Mama Morton in the Beit Lessin Theater production of Chicago and was a judge on Israel's version of A Star is Born, Kokhav Nolad.[1]
Gal's album Ohevet otcha yoter (I love you more) was a co-production with Matti Caspi, who was responsible for most of the compositions, arrangements and instrumental accompaniment.[2]
The title song of Gal's album Seeing the Years (2009) is "Imazman," a tribute to Gal's mother and also a play on words (ima = mom, zman = time, im hazman = over time. The song begins with words from the popular song "Que Sera, Sera" (Whatever Will Be, Will Be) and continues in Spanish. Gal, who reached the height of her career in the 1980s, sings a mix of blues, folk and pop. [3]
