Zion Golan (Hebrew: ציון גולן Tzion Golan; Arabic: صهيون غولان Sahyoun Ghawlan; زيون غولان Zion Golan; b. 1955), also known as Tzion Golan, is an Israeli singer of Yemenite Jewish origin.
Background
Most of Golan's songs are in Judeo-Yemeni Arabic and in Yemenite Hebrew. Most of his songs were written and composed by himself, his mother in law Naomi Amrani, and by other writers. Some of his songs were written by the famous Rabbi Shalom Shabazi.
Golan has recorded over 22 albums. He records mostly from a studio in his own home.
= Personal life
=Golan was born to Yemeni immigrants in Ashkelon, Israel. A modern Orthodox Yemenite Jew, he currently lives with his wife and three children (two girls, one boy) in the Ahuzat Etrog neighborhood of Merkaz Shapira.
In 1974, Golan joined the Israel Defense Forces as a soloist in the Israel Army Rabbinical choir.
Worldwide reach
Golan's music is popular outside of Israel, particularly in Yemen, where his family originates. Though the Yemeni government prohibits direct contact with Israel, Golan's records have managed to reach the Yemeni public via the underground, selling around 50,000 copies per album release. It has been reported that his songs are known to "blare from cafes and taxis" in Yemen.
According to an interview in Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, at one point in time Golan was set to give a performance in Yemen, and visas were to be issued by the Jordanian embassy in Tel Aviv, but the concert was canceled because of concerns for Golan's family.
Golan's songs are also sung by contemporary Yemeni singers such as Fadel Al Hamami.
In 2018, Golan collaborated with the Yemeni pop singer Hussein Moheb at a wedding in Amman, Jordan of a relative of former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
