Israeli-Palestinian Peace song
A special musical event took place in Israel last Sunday, when David Broza, an Israeli pop star and Wisam Murad, a Palestinian musician, performed a beautiful, simple peace song that they co-wrote, In My Heart (B'Libi). The song was played for the first time simultaneously on Galei Tzahal, the Israeli Army Radio and Voice of Palestine. Richard Silverstein blogged the event and added lots of background to the story.

Despite all the difficulties inherent in the business of making, performing and enjoying music in modern day Palestine, a remarkably vibrant and dedicated musical community has grown up in the country, especially in East Jerusalem where the National Music Conservatory continues to nurture successive generations of Palestinian talent

This is the first post that I am composing together with another blogger, Haitham Sabbah of Sabbah's Blog, who provided most of the links related to the Palestinian music scene. Thank you, Sabbah. If I get some positive response, I may want to repeat the process with other bloggers perhaps, and on other topics. Contact me for details.
The bloody songbook above was stained when Itzhak Rabin was murdered in 1995. The song he just finished singing was called "Song of Peace". More About Music From The Middle East Here
