Miri Mesika is an Israeli singer and actress born in Herzliya who performs Hebrew-language pop with Mediterranean elements. Her self-titled debut album introduced songs including “LeSham” and “Af Achat,” while later releases included Shalom LaEmunot and Ba’a Eleichem.

Her later stage work has included joint concerts with singer-songwriter Keren Peles, who wrote several songs associated with Mesika’s early albums.

Keren Peles is an Israeli singer-songwriter, composer and pianist who performs Hebrew-language pop. She first became known for writing songs for singers including Miri Mesika and Shiri Maimon, then established her own recording career through the albums “Im Ele HaHayim” and “Mabul.” Her self-titled collaborative album with another singer-songwriter developed into a joint concert program built around two voices and two pianos. The shows combined their duets with songs from their individual catalogues, creating a sustained stage partnership with Rami Kleinstein.
