Extract

At the time of writing, several political agreements are being signed, all of which seek, despite their unevenness, peace between Israel and the Arab populations living in its midst. Popular culture in Israel at large, and popular music in particular, is not indifferent to this changing state of affairs. Indeed, numerous groups and singers have emerged whose songs appear primarily to be concerned with combining modern Hebrew with Arabic, and bringing together Israeli singers with Israeli Palestinian and Arabic popular music singers. While this kind of collaboration is becoming increasingly visible, let us not forget that it began in the heyday of the Intifada.
