Few people riding the Underground in London realize that the amazing voice they hear on their way to work belongs to Hadar Manor, a former Lieutenant in the Israeli army. A recent “Ear to the Underground” contest, which votes on the best talent in the London-wide underground scene, crowned Manor as Queen.

According to TotallyJewish.com, Manor is appreciative of the support she received from the London Jewish community. She has performed for a number of Jewish organizations in London including Limmud, the ZF and JNF. Hadar has been in London for five years and considers herself an “ambassador for Israel. I think every Israeli abroad is an ambassador”. She plans to return to Israel for a show in Tel Aviv later this year.

Here she is, Hadar Manor singing “Queen of the Underground”. One very talented lady indeed.

    Israeli musicians are conquering everywhere! One of the most popular subway musicians in New York City is also from Israel - the 'Saw Lady' http://www.sawlady.com/blog
    She was on every newspaper's 'Best of New York' list.
