Rita Jahan-Farouz[a] (Hebrew: ריטה יהאן-פָרוּז), known mononymously as Rita, is an Iranian-Israeli singer and actress.[2]

In 2011, she became famous in Iran after the release of various pop records in which she sings in her native Persian language. In 2012, Israeli producer Amer Payami managed her album All My Joys, also sung in Persian; it was popular in Israel and Iran,[3] going gold in Israel after three weeks. She has since been commonly referred to as a cultural ambassador between Israelis and Iranians, and has personally stated that she hopes to "puncture the wall of tension" between the two countries.[4]
