Born in Meknes in Morocco April 4, 1948, Avi Toledano is known to European audiences for his involvement with the Eurovision Song Contest. In 1982 he represented Israel in Harrogate, UK with the uptempo revivalist number Hora. He finished in second place, although a considerable distance behind the German winner, Nicole. In 1983 Toledano composed the song that represented Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest held in Munich, Chai (Alive). Performed by Ofra Haza, it scored second place.
