Daklon
"Daklon," born Yoseph Levy, was born in 1944 in Tel Aviv's Kerem Hateimanim (Yemenite) neighborhood, the son of Yemenite Jewish immigrants from the Shar'ab region in Yemen.[1]
Daklon explains the source of his nickname: "In those days everyone in the Kerem had a nickname. Your given name was a from of identification . As a kid I was quite short and skinny, (Hebrew: דק, dak; daq), and so, they called me Daklon."
He started his musical career as an 11-year-old when his teacher sent him to do a piece for a religious music radio show.
At the end of the 1950s Daklon's professional career took flight. He was first inspired to take his music to the professional level by the famous Moroccan-born Israeli singer, Joe Amar. Daklon had also translated famous Greek and Hindi songs into Hebrew in the 1960s, at the beginning of his career.
He is famed for his performances with Chaim Moshe (חיים משה) and Avihu Medina during the starting from the 1960s till today.
He has produced more than 35 Albums to date.
Daklon songs are also themed and based on his love for Israel, The Jewish Nation, and has also produced many beautiful Love Songs. Some of Daklon's music draws on millennia-old Jewish, Middle-Eastern Jewish, and Yemenite Jewish poetry, psalms, Bible, and Ancient-Jewish Hymns.
