Yona Volach, what a poet, during the seventies of the twenties century she was the most radical
voice in in Israeli culture.
Yona re sculptured the Hebrew language. She was a controversy by being. I made music to this lyrics when 18 of age. 12 years later i asked Ilan Virtzberg to write a new composition which he recorded with
Shimon Gelbetz and Nurit Galron. At the time i managed the three of them and sometimes earlier released the legendary album "Good Vintage" with Ilan and Shimon.

I spent a lot of time with Yona, She was the most devoted woman in what ever she did.

Be it poetry, sex, love, hate, war, i would not say peace as i never saw her making peace with nobody.

In 1996 i finally recorded my composition of "not this" /"veze lo" for my first and only album The best of Aba.
