origin.Rada was born in Kiryat Arba, Israel, to a religious
Ethiopian-Jewish family. Her parents, originally from a village near
Gondar, were rescued by Israel from a refugee camp in Sudan during
Operation Moses, in 1984.She grew up speaking Amharic at home and
Hebrew in school. Her father was known as a cantor in the Ethiopian
community in Kiryat Arba. Her parents divorced when she was a child
and later on, she moved with her mother and older brother to Netanya
in 1996, when Rada was 11 years old, which she considers a turning
point in her life, since the family moved to a less observant
neighbourhood where the majority were Ethiopian Jews, and also started
to interact with French olim, which were familiar with funk and rap,
something unheard of in a religious Jewish settlement like Kiryat
Arba.
