Biography

Early life

Nurit Galron was born as Nurit Klimburd. Her mother, Leah Sitin, retired from the stage after singing with the Jewish Brigade band "Ma'ayan Zahav," founded by director Eliyahu Goldinberg. Her father, Moshe, was a cashier who had been a soldier in Anders' Army, and following the murder of his wife and child in the Holocaust, left the army and immigrated to the Land of Israel. She grew up in the Neve Amal neighborhood in Herzliya. She was a member of HaMahanot HaOlim youth movement.

Early career

Galron began her professional path in 1970 in the IDF, in Golani Brigade Entertainment Troupe, where she performed her first solo, "Haloch Va'khatof." After her military service, she studied film and theater at Tel Aviv University and performed in small jazz clubs. She adopted the surname "Galron."
In late 1978, she released her first solo album, Nurit Galron, which garnered high praise. The album featured songs that became Israeli staples, including "Kim'at", "Shalekhet", "Ahuvati Sheli L'vanat Tzavar", and "Ulay Machar".
