We hope the Palestine who have been facing starvation, fear, isolation, and genocide be saved as soon as possible as a first step in this emergency circumstance.

Uzi, a founding member of Boom Pam, has collaborated with a range of Israeli artists across genres like jazz trumpeter Avishai Cohen, multi-instrumentalist Kutiman, and singer-songwriter Carolina after his departure. His 2010 debut solo album, Lick My Heart, breaks free from the oriental music influences of Boom Pam, showcasing his deep-rooted admiration for American music — the blues and country that he grew up with, in 20 self-composed tracks.

DAM, the group of three Arab-Israeli rappers based in the city of Lod near Tel Aviv, made waves with their song "Meen Erhabi (Who's The Terrorist?!)" released online in 2001, garnering over a million downloads. Their fame soared further when they appeared in the documentary Freedom, Walls, and Hip-Hop directed by Arab-American filmmaker Jackie Reem Salloum in 2008, inspired by the second intifada.

Following their second album Dedicationin 2006, The Third Dabke on the Moon (2013), takes its title from the traditional Levantine dance music, Dabke, popular at weddings and festivities across the Levant region, including Palestine. The album kicks off with the sounds of a chalumeau-like woodwind instrument and the rhythmic beats of the taiko drums, embodying the essence of Dabke. Riding on these traditional beats fused with modern rhythm tracks, they deliver their powerful Palestinian messages through crisp rap verses.
