Charlie Megira, born Gabi Abudraham in 1972 in Beer Sheva, Israel, was a musician who carved out a unique niche in the indie and underground music scene with his enigmatic presence and a sound that deftly blended elements of rockabilly, punk, surf, and rock 'n' roll. Megira's style was an homage to the bygone era of the 1950s and 1960s, yet it was imbued with a modern, sometimes haunting edge that set his work apart from simple pastiche.

Having started his musical journey in the late 1990s, Charlie Megira released a slew of albums that showcased his talent for crafting moody, atmospheric tunes with a particularly retro feel. His 2014 release, "Tomorrow's Gone," is often lauded as his magnum opus, weaving together melancholic lyrics with rich, cinematic soundscapes. His other notable works include "The End of Teenage," which further solidifies his penchant for nostalgically-infused rock, and "Love Police," which showcases his darker, more introspective musical explorations. Despite never achieving mainstream fame, Charlie Megira's work left a lasting impression on those who ventured into his obscure corner of the music world. His sudden passing in November 2016 at the age of 44 only served to heighten the cult status of his evocative discography, leaving behind a legacy appreciated by aficionados of the underground music scene.
