Get intimate with Ben Artzi
Ha'aretz's Gidi Avivi urges you to see Ben Artzi in small concerts while you still can. Comparing him not only to his father, Shlomo Artzi, but to "The Who" leader Pete Townshend, Avivi writes that "the jump from appearances in small clubs to giant shows could also happen for Ben Artzi."

Shemer and Artzi: The next generation
The two famous Israeli musicians each have a son ready to release their first album
"The Helicon record company knows that the more than slight similarity between Ben Artzi (Shlomo Artzi's son) and Ariel Orovitz (Naomi Shemer's son) will lead to inevitable comparisons, and the label wishes to clarify that these are two different artists. Nevertheless, the hand of Udi Anis, in charge of signing Hebrew artists at Helicon, is discernible in both albums," writes Michal Palti in his Ha'aretz profile of the two artists.
