Israeli musician Mosh Ben-Ari was hospitalized over the weekend at Rabin Medical Center following a cardiac incident and successfully underwent a catheterization procedure.
Sources close to Ben-Ari confirmed the details and said the 54-year-old singer is recovering well. “He’s doing just fine,” they added, noting that he’s expected to be discharged from the hospital as early as Sunday.
Ben-Ari has two upcoming performances scheduled this month. His team has not yet announced whether the shows will go on as planned and said a decision will be made after consulting with doctors.
Ben-Ari is an Israeli musician, singer, and composer known for blending rock, soul, reggae, and world music with traditional Jewish and Middle Eastern influences. Born on September 21, 1970, in Afula, Israel, to a Yemenite and Iraqi Jewish family, he began playing music at 16 and studied various musical traditions in India, the Sahara and the Sinai.
In 1997, Ben-Ari co-founded the world music ensemble Sheva, which gained recognition for its message of peace and coexistence, particularly through the song "Salaam (Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu)."
