Rona (Aharona) Kenan (born July 26th 1979) is an Israeli singer, musician
performer and composer. Kenan was born in Jaffa, daughter of the writer and
journalist Amos Kenan and cinema researcher and writer Nurit Gertz. She
was raised and lives in Tel Aviv.
Her first show in front of a big audience was held at 1997. In 2003 Kenan
