Born in Tel Aviv in 1969 Noa lived in New York City from age 2 until her return to Israel alone at the age of 17. Her family is originally from Yemen. After serving the mandatory two years in the Israeli Army in a military entertainment unit, Noa studied music at the Rimon School where she met her long-time partner and collaborator Gil Dor.
Noa's strongest influences come from the singer-songwriters of the 60s, like Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. These musical and lyrical sensibilities, combined with Noa's Yemenite roots and Gil Dor's strong background in jazz, classical and rock, have created Noa and Gil's unique sound, manifested in hundreds of songs written and performed together. Noa plays percussion, guitar and piano. She is married to Dr. Asher Barak, they have two children, Ayehli and Enea, and live in Israel.
Over the span of their 15 year career together, Gil and Noa have written and produced 4 hugely successful Israeli albums: "Achinoam Nini and Gil Dor Live", "Achinoam Nini and Gil Dor" (also known as "Rachel and Leah"), and "Achinoam Nini". Their four international albums are, "Noa" (produced by Pat Metheny) and "Calling" (produced by Rupert Hine) for Geffen records, "Blue Touches Blue" (produced by Mike Hedges) for Mercury records and "Now" (produced by Gil Dor & Yoad Nevo) for Universal Music. In addition, Noa has recorded a live album with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and a live cd and dvd with The Solis String Quartet. Their latest release in Israel is a collection of Neapolitan songs translated into Hebrew, and performed together with the Solis string quartet, named Napoli-Tel Aviv. There are also various compilations available. The songwriting duo have sold over a million and a half copies of their current catalogue.
On Nov. 4th, 1995, Noa was on stage performing for an audience of 50,000 at the historic peace rally in Tel-Aviv just minutes before the late Yitchak Rabin was assassinated. She was the first and only major Israeli artist who agreed to have her name posted on the billboards calling for participation in this fateful rally.
In March 1999 Noa sang for President Clinton at the White House in the event held by the "Yitzhak Rabin Foundation" honoring the late Rabin's 77th birthday . She was also invited to sing in Oslo for the anniversary of the Peace accord signed there, before an audience that included President Clinton, Ehud Barak, Yasser Arafat and the King of Norway. Noa was awarded the "dove of peace" by Nobel-peace prize laureate Shimon Peres, and has performed and collaborated on numerous occasions with the "Peres Center for Peace".
In 2000, the Mayor of Melpignano awarded Noa and Nabil Salameh, Lebanese singer songwriter of the group "RadioDervish", honorary citizenship for their activity for peace. Two years later year, Nabil dedicated one of the group's albums to Noa's son, Ayehli.
In May 2002, Noa took part in the first-ever concert at the "Rome Colloseum", under the banner of "Time for Life- A Tribute for Peace". The event featured Ray Charles, Mercedes Sousa, Khaled, Nicola Piovani, and various artists from Aghanistan, Sarajevo, Belgrade, Africa and Ireland.

In May 2004 Noa performed in "We Are the Future": a globally telecast fund raising concert for children in conflict areas. The event, which was produced by Quincy Jones and hosted by the mayor of Rome Walter Veltroni, featured an international line-up of stars and performers such as Oprah Winfrey, Angelina Jolie, Chris Tucker, Naomi Campbell and Serena Williams, Patti Austin, Carlos Santana, Alicia Keys, Andrea Bocelli, Carmen Consoli, Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock, Stomp, Take 6, Angelique Kidjo and others. The concert was performed live in front of an audience of 350,000 in Rome's "Circo Massimo", and broadcast on MTV, VH1 and various other channels to millions more around the world. (this performance was held during Noa's 6th month of pregnancy!)

In September, she performed at the "Ambrosetti Forum" which took place in Villa d'Este, Como, Italy, before distinguished participants such as Shimon Peres, Saeb Arekat and Amer Mussa. She took advantage of this stage, as she has many times before, to express her belief in the importance of dialogue and the need for vision-driven, self-less leadership.
In June 2006, the Italian Ambassador to Israel notified Noa that the President of the Italian Republic, President Neapolitano, has decided to award her the prestigious "Stella de la Republica " ( the "Star of the Republic) with the status of "Cavalliere" (knight). This is the highest honor Italy has to give. The formal ceremony is pending.

Noa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we're crying
we fall
we're trying
we're little
we're laughing
we're lonely sometimes
we're open
we're lost
we're hoping
we're careful
we're calling
we're leaving behind
you say we need to work together
with love and care for everyone
without the fighting and the anger
you say the world could be as one
but every time that you say we
do you think about me?
'cause every time that you say we
I hope you think about me
we're strong
we're chosen
we're scared
we're frozen
we're hardened
we're hopeful
we're holding at bay
we take
we're giving
we shake
we're living
we're lovers
we're sinners
we're running away
and if we fail to make a difference
and if our hope is almost gone
despite the fighting and the anger
you say the world could be as one
but every time that you say we
do you think about me?
'cause every time that you say we
I hope you think about me
and every time that you say we
do you think about me?
'cause every time that you say we
I hope you think about me
Noa's song "We" is a reflection on the human experience and the journey we all take from birth to death. This journey is filled with ups and downs, joys and sorrows, as we navigate through life. The lyrics describe the different stages of life and the emotions that come with them, from the vulnerability and innocence of childhood, to the uncertainty and hopefulness of adolescence and adulthood, to the fear and perseverance of facing life's challenges.
The song also touches upon the idea of unity and working together towards a common goal. Noa acknowledges that while it may seem difficult to overcome our differences and come together as a whole, it is ultimately necessary if we want to create a better world for everyone. She challenges the listener to think about who they include in their concept of "we", and whether they truly include everyone, even those who are different from themselves.
The repetition of the question "do you think about me?" in the chorus adds a personal element to the song, reminding us that we are all part of this collective journey and that our individual experiences are important and valid. It also highlights the importance of empathy and consideration for others.
