With just two days to go until the unforgivable second anniversary of the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and with hopes diminishing that the ‘Peace Plan’ pushed by Donald Trump will actually bring the grotesque and seemingly endless murder of Palestinian civilians to an end, the timing seems appropriate for the release of ‘O Palestine’, a new song of mine, which I wrote in the early months of Israel’s ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip, expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people, and opposing the genocide and western support and complicity.
The song was recorded as a collaboration with my son Tyler (beatboxer The Wiz-RD), on which I play guitar, Wurlitzer piano and Hohner Bass 2, with Tyler beatboxing, and it was produced by the great Charlie Hart, best known for working with the late Ronnie Lane, who also produced The Four Fathers’ last album, Songs of Loss and Resistance.
