The Cellist and composer Rali Margalit is a familiar figure within the ethnic music scene in Israel and abroad. She is a unique female composer, in a field where most artists are male. She composes and plays with the "Compas" flamenco group, Renana Raz dance group and was among the founders of the Jebalyo ensemble with the Kurdish singer Ilana Elya and played with the East-West Ensemble and the Bustan Avraham group.
Rali Margalit has released two albums of her original compositions "5 works" in 2005 and "Soosim" released in 2010 at the label Magda - www.magda.co.il, finding its place in the crossroads between Classical and Ethnic music. Margalit's musical approach is regarded as unique, since her compositions are not based on existing musical structures and traditions, but stems directly from extra-musical sources of inspiration, mainly from Hebrew prose as well as poetry.
Rali Margalit performs with percussion, kanun and flute and has in short time entered the international music scene, Kaunas Jazz festival, Poland, Italy and several festivals in Israel and national radio shows.
