Cherie and Renno

Cherie and Renno, formerly known as Izabo (Hebrew: איזבו), are an Israeli duo that was formed in 1989. Their musical style is diverse, ranging from indie rock, disco and Middle Eastern music. Under the name Izabo, they represented Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, with the song "Time".

Izabo was founded in Petah Tikva in 1989. Their original line-up consisted of Ran Shem Tov, Shiri Hadar, Nir Graf and Tamir Muskat.

In 1994, they released their first album titled Movie Maker along with three singles. This album is often omitted from Izabo's chronology and songs from it are never played in live concerts. The band's line-up changed following the release of the album and again in 1997, with the final line-up, which remained for 19 years, consisting of founders Shem Tov and Hadar, as well as Jonathan Levy and Nir Mantzur.

Their sophomore album, The Fun Makers, was released in late 2003 and received highly positive critical acclaim, with the songs "Morning Hero" and "Cook Me" achieving major radio success in Israel. Several months later, Izabo signed on to Sony BMG, through which they released their British debut, The Morning Hero EP. The release was accompanied by a concert tour during which Izabo performed in England, Scotland and the Netherlands.

Izabo collaborated with a large variety of artists, on stage and in studio, from singer-songwriter Ahuva Ozeri to choreographer Ohad Naharin.

Izabo's collaboration with Shotei Hanevuah produced the single "Hu", which won the Music 24's "song of the year" award.

Their third LP, Super Light, was released in July 2008.

On March 26, 2012, Izabo released an EP titled Summer Shade. The EP included the 2012 singles "Summer Shade", "On My Way" and "I Like It", the band's final singles under the name Izabo.
