Zohar Orkabi (Hebrew: זוהר עורקבי; July 16, 1955 – November 6, 1987), known professionally as Zohar Argov (זוהר ארגוב), was an Israeli singer. A distinctive voice in the Mizrahi music scene, Argov is widely known in Israel as "The king of Mizrahi music".[1][2] However, he remains a divisive figure in Israeli culture due to his controversial rape conviction and charges.[3][4]
