I'm Aiton Weinstein.

And I'm Naor Menninger.

And you're listening to Two Nice Jewish Boys.

Reading through a list of Achino Amnini's performances, you can't help but be taken aback

by the sheer magnitude of her career.

Carnegie Hall, Olympia in Paris, the Coliseum in Rome, just to name a few.

From humble beginnings, Nini, or Noah, as she is known outside of Israel, has conquered

the world with her music.

In 1994, in the presence of Pope John Paul II, Nini performed Ave Maria for a live audience

of 100,000 and a television audience of millions of the Vatican in Rome.

In 2000, Nini recorded La Vita Ebella, the theme song for Roberto Benini's Oscar-winning

film, Life is Beautiful. The list of her accomplishments

goes on and on and on. She performed in the White House before President Clinton and collaborated

to this day with Sting, Stevie Wonder, Santana, Cheryl Crow, Mercedes Sosa, and many others.

There is no question that Nini and her music are a pillar not only in Israeli music,

but in the global music world as well.

We are beyond thrilled to be joined by one of the greats, the legendary Noah.

This podcast is made in collaboration with the Jewish Journal.

That was beautiful. Thank you.

Thank you.

Sweetly exaggerated.

Not at all.
