    ​With Jewish-Arabic roots, Israeli superstar Dikla shares her musical journey.

    A mix of reverence, sadness and yearning for her parents' origins in Egypt and Iraq influence Israeli musician Dikla's style and sound.

    "I've been carrying [my parents'] culture...carrying it in my throat, actually, and in my heart. Egypt to me is a country I miss, even though I have never been there."
