The musician David Broza found out about the death of the musician Yitzhak Klefter while he was performing at a tribute evening held (Thursday) in his honor at the Bhima Theater in Tel Aviv.
With a broken voice and tears Broza told that he was the one who replaced Clifter in the show "Living Room Conversations" in the late seventies.
He also said that the song he sang at the beginning of the evening, even before he learned of the legendary musician's death, was written for him by Klefter - "Bedouin Love Song" - in 1978.
"A huge cultural hero has left us," Yoav Ginai told the host of the evening.
The tribute event for Baroza that will take place again tomorrow at 11 am in the Bhima will be dedicated to Yitzhak Kleftar and many of his songs will be performed by the participants of the show.
