Born in
Jerusalem, Kashi debuted as a soloist in the
Nahal Entertainment Troupe. The album features a variety of international songs, including "Yo te pido, Dios", "
Non, je ne regrette rien", "Erev Ba", "
I Can't Stop Loving You", "
Hava Nagila", "
Samba de uma nota só", and "
Et maintenant". That same year, she made a series of recordings in
Costa Rica for the Indica record label. Her Indica recordings include the album
Aliza Kashi, la dama (
Aliza Kashi, the Lady), which was also released in
Mexico, Brazil,
United States,
Europe, and
Israel. In 1966, Kashi went to the United States and toured with American comedian
Jack Benny in his show
An Hour and 60 Minutes with Jack Benny, which included a successful performance at
Caesars Palace in
Las Vegas. She appeared once on
The Ed Sullivan Show and many times on
The Merv Griffin Show. In June, she gave a concert at
The Town Hall in
New York City. Robert Windeler, who reviewed the concert for
The New York Times, wrote: "Miss Kashi is a beautiful young Israeli, who sings in Hebrew and at least five other languages, always well and in a strong voice that is capable of conveying a wide range of emotions. This was her New York debut, and a full house of loyal fans was there to greet her […]." In August,
Record World editors included
Aliza Kashi in their "Albums of the Week" section (of the 5 August issue) and gave it a positive review: "Aliza Kashi, Israeli songstress making a name on the Merv Griffin
TVer and in niteries, bows with a list of evergreens she makes even fresher and greener". In 1968, Kashi released her second Jubilee album,
Hello, People!.
Billboard included it in its Special Merit Picks section and wrote: "With a boost from the exposure of the
Merv Griffin Show, Miss Kashi is coming on in popularity. Her vivacious personality and charm come across in this LP recorded live at a hotel. Her voice packs a wallop in "
Goin' Out of My Head," among others. Her ad libs to the audience are a show in themselves." ==Discography==
