Dana International - Site description





		First of all: This is not the official Dana International site - to go there you have to click here. However, Dana's management have been in touch with me and are happy with the site - so it's at least officially approved of. The site has grown quite a lot since it was first launched in January 1998 - here is a description of what you will find on the site. (Frequently Asked Questions) When is the next single due? Is there a Dana fanclub? Are there plans for a tour? Questions posed by e-mail will be answered personally - and the information put here. If you have a question you want to e-mail me, please look here first. Maybe the information is already there? Translations of most of Dana's lyrics in Hebrew and Arabic! All the lyrics for albums with no lyrics in the CD booklets! Dana has received a lot of media attention through the years - some of it is presented in translation to English here. Lots of articles added after her Eurovision victory! (Including a huge number of Israeli articles and interviews from 1993 to present - most translated from Hebrew by Ziv Geri.)




		This site is not the only one where you can get information on Dana International! Here you'll find links to and descriptions of a number of sites, including the official homepage!




		What has Dana recorded so far? Here you'll find all her albums and singles with track listings. Both Israeli and international released included.




		To give Dana's fans a forum to exchange information, arrange swaps, and get to know each other, I have started a mailing list. All the information on how to join, what it is for and how to post to it can be found in this section.




		One focus of my Dana website is the conspiracy theory about her published in Egypt a few years ago: "A Scandal by the Name Sa'ida Sultan!"




		Dana's albums reviewed and described by yours truly!




		Much has been made out of the fact that Dana is a transgendered person. What does that imply? How can you find out more about transsexuality? Here you'll find some sources of information I have found useful. This section also contains interpretations of how Jewish Law (Ha-halakha) views transsexuality in the light of Dana's victory in the Eurovision.




		Dana often states in interviews that she does not talk about politics. I, however, feel she can be interpreted as being very political. In this section I explain why.




		Dana sings a number of songs in Arabic - I happen to be taking a master's degree in Arabic. Enough of an explanation for this particular page, no?




		You might wonder who the guy behind this website is - on my homepage you will find an attempt at an answer (in English of course).




		How did I stumble across Dana International? What was my first meeting with Dana like? What did she say in my exclusive interview with her for Norwegian radio in May 1999?




		Track the development of my Dana site! This is where you'll find out if changes and additions have been made since the last time you dropped in - as well as what they are. It also includes mention of the people who have contributed things to the site, and accordingly functions as my site hall of fame!




		Most articles about Dana have not been written in English – this part of the site concentrates on media articles in other languages than English.




		Dana's records can be a bit difficult to get hold of - especially her Israeli releases. But you have come to the right place - with a number of possible sources for Dana's albums, singles and even promotion items!
