Freedom for Palestine - music single

two violinists TOUR FOR PEACE

So, for those of you who remember my post about Game Trekking a while back (mentioned in my last post), here's another kickstarter project aimed at uniting art and peacemaking: Tour for Peace.  I've had the privilege of knowing one of the violinists (Lauren Manning) since we were kids (and even then we knew how talented she was) and of hearing her perform on multiple occasions.  She's spent most of her life in Jordan, and the Arab world, with its conflicts and its joys, is very close to her heart.

Check out their vision.  Sponsor if you can.

I'm a bit ambivalent about this video. Let me know what you think.

A Song for Iraq

"Peace" by Esther Sparks (on the album 'Esther Sparks and the Protesters'): YouTube video.

Challenging. A commentary on the cost, and rhetoric, of war. Listen to the lyrics.

A Song for Palestine

"Try Not to Cry" by Outlandish, with Sami Yusuf (British singer-songwriter born in Iran) and photos of Palestine: YouTube video.
