International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People

What better way to celebrate November 29th, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People than to highlight some of the wonderful musicians that find a way to give joy amidst the sorrows and violence of continued military occupation?

Two young talented Palestinian singers performed at the United Nations before an appreciative audience and the following is an excerpt from that performance.




That sent me on an internet search for more wonderful music. It did not take long to find a veritable treasure chest filled with gems—all ripe and ready for the listener.

My favorite of all the offerings is a somewhat scratchy recording of the music of George Kirmiz accompanied by the wonderful visual images of the art of the late Ismail Shammout.
