Musician Idan Wilkis releases "Sleeping Beauty", which he wrote and composed together with Ohad Basson who also arranged and produced the song, in which flamenco players from Spain also participated.
Wilkis, who has already released several singles, performs with his music and is very connected to the flamenco style.
He was as captivated as everyone else on that Saturday of October 7 by the news releases and the horrific reports that kept coming.

"After that I knew I would write a song in her memory from the scraps of interviews and stories I collected," he says.
