Her music, inspired by her love of her Yemenite Jewish culture, fused elements of folk, dance and pop. Combined with her being able to switch between traditional and more commercial styles, she became an instant local, then national success story. Later, she found international success in Europe and the United States.

- Peel first admitted hearing of Ofra Haza, when a listener, Grant Goddard from Tel Aviv sent him a 12" single called "Galbi", which Peel really liked. He played the track on his BBC Radio One show on 22 April 1985 and compared her voice to Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins. After playing the track, he criticised many of the demos sent as sounding like Killing Joke and described Ofra's record as one of the most diverse he heard. Grant Goddard later wrote on his blog how he was shocked about Ofra's death in 2000 and getting Peel interested in her records:
- Ofra Haza was an Israeli singer, actress and international recording artist. By the age of 19, she was the most popular pop star in her homeland, dubbed by many journalists as "The Madonna of the East". She represented Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest 1983 in Munich with the song Hi, which was tapped to do well by many. The performance met expectations and she finished in second place, the song going on to become a big hit. She passed away on 23 February 2000 of AIDS-related pneumonia at the age of 42, but has left a legacy to the people of Israel.

She performed the voice of Yocheved in The Prince of Egypt. She did this in 18 languages, including her native Hebrew (in which her first two lines in that language were always sung in every version). The animators for the film were so impressed by Ofra, that they modeled the look of Yocheved on Ofra's appearance.

Grant Goddard later wrote on his blog how he was shocked about Ofra's death in 2000 and getting Peel interested in her records: "In 2000, I was shocked to learn of Ofra’s death at the age of 42 from AIDS-related organ failure. Two years later, an Israeli television film crew came to London and filmed an interview about my role in creating their country’s most successful international pop star. They had just filmed a similar interview with John Peel at his home, during which he impressed them by producing the handwritten letter that had accompanied the Ofra records I had initially sent him from Israel seventeen years earlier. The interviewer asked me if I had made a fortune from ‘discovering’ Ofra Haza for the international market. All I had received was one cheque for £200 from the UK record company in 1988 to reimburse my expenses for Ofra's first London promotional visit."[1] The TV documentary was called the Life And Death Of Ofra Haza and was broadcast in Hebrew on Israeli television Channel 2 in January 2002.
