And this episode is not only part of that approach, it might be the EPITOME of it. In a special two-part PODFAST, I’m profiling the music of both Israel AND Palestine. The more I listen to music from non-English countries, the more I hear how much all of it shares. Israel and Palestine are no exception, and we’d all be better served remembering that. Part 1 deals with both countries' music histories, and then I highlight some amazing contemporary Israeli artists. In Part 2, I'll highlight Palestinian artists, and draw some surprising parallels. Do you know anything about the music from either country? Have you heard of any of the artists I mentioned? Do you like anything you’ve heard? Does this change and/or enhance your perspective on the conflict? Discuss dammit! ~~~~ *intro music credit: REC - "You Make Me Wanna" (from RECcollection: The Best of REC 2007-2020) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
