  • Description

    A unique recording. Eight songs that weave beautifully-crafted human stories around one of the burning issues of our times: the Israel/Palestine conflict Unapologetically challenging and provocative, this is a CD like no other: eight songs that focus on the seemingly intractable Israel/Palestine conflict. But these songs are in no way agit-prop. There are no messages, no slogans, no political catch-phrases; just stories that explore the human consequences when the dreams of two peoples collide. Janet Russell’s powerful singing of 'SONG OF THE OLIVE TREE' has moved audiences to tears wherever she has sung it. The celebrated Palestinian singer Reem Kelani sings a lament for the loss of home and homeland. The other songs, written and sung by one of Britain’s finest songwriters, Leon Rosselson, range from a story about his time spent in Israel in 1958/59 to the chilling prediction in 'THE THIRD INTIFADA'. Songs to move the mind and the heart Tracks; The Song of Martin Fontasch / Song of the Olive Tree / The Last Chance / They Said / Yafa! / My Father’s Jewish World / The Third Intifada / Loyal Soldiers
