Yitzhak Klepter: "It took me many years to realize that I play well"
People hear one sound, and immediately know that Isaac Klepter is on guitar.
Why?
He also has no explanation: a new year is a good opportunity to stop for a moment and pay homage to one of the most important musicians in Israel - and in a new chapter of the "Creative Documentation" project, Klepter tells what song he is most proud of and reveals where the muse comes from

"I do not know how people hear one sound and honestly know that I play. It took me many years to realize that I play well. I take for granted things that make others enthusiastic" - says the huge musician Yitzhak Klepter in the new episode of "Creative Documentation", the special initiative Of the Lottery to document the personal story of the best composers and musicians in Israel.
Klepter was born in Haifa and moved to Tel Aviv at a young age, before, like many, he too was exposed to Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard and the Beatles: "I was 12 and I fell in love. I built the Churchills. " Why the Churchills? "That's what I was called in elementary school, because I'm a little chubby, like him."
One day, Klepter recalled, he received a phone call from Danny Sanderson, who offered to join a new band: "He, Ephraim Shamir and Gidi Gov played me some songs and I liked it." In this band, Hive of course, he has written some memorable songs and in particular "She is so beautiful" - "This is the most played song of Hive to date", he is proud.
So where is the muse from? "She comes in when I think of things beyond my routine. If I'm bored and I'm alone, sad or upset, I take the guitar."
The Lottery Council for Culture and the Arts and Yoav Kutner initiated the "Creative Documentation in Israeli Music" archive.
"This is an exciting and important project, born out of a vision and concern for the preservation of cultural assets," said Dolin Melnik, head of the Lottery Council for Culture and the Arts at the Lottery.
Yoav Kutner, "Mr. Israeli Music", embarked on a documentary journey of composers, singers, writers, composers, musicians and "cultural heroes" and the archive provides a glimpse into the journey of those artists.
