One of the Best Musicians in Israel Sings About the War to Liberate Palestine
Amal Murkus’ music is rarely played on the Israeli radio. ‘I pay a price for being a free person,’ she tells Haaretz ahead of the release of a new album
It was a highly productive day for Amal Murkus. In the afternoon the singer filmed herself reading a children’s book in her home in Kafr Yasif and sent it to a Tunisian organization that encourages children to read. In the evening she went to a studio in Moshav Even Menahem to be filmed singing the Palestinian folk song “Bahalilak,” which she sent to Chile, for an evening marking the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People on November 29.
