Ortal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ortal (full name Marie Ortal Malka) is a singer, born in Israel of Berber and Andalusian origins. She began singing when she was sixteen, but it was in the year 2000 that things really started to take shape. Ortal moved to Spain and joined the group ‘Gipsy Sound’. Ortal was practically unknown until she battled it out to represent France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 when she sang "Chacun Pense à Soi" (Everyone Thinks of Themselves) at the contest in Kiev, placing 23rd in a field of 24.
